Recovering From Depression: Self-Help, Coping and Support

Loneliness is a slow death...

I'm always surprised how lonely I get from time to time. I'll just be plugging along (a phrase borrowed from my mom) and suddenly it will hit me...I am lonely. And for the most part alone. And it's not a pleasant feeling. People will say "You have to put yourself out there more." But, what does that mean? I have tried. But, I end up looking and feeling foolish. So, what is there really? Should I keep putting myself out there and repeatedly getting hurt? Somehow that doesn't seem wise to me. I don't know what the answer is. I really don't.

Long time, no blog...

Well, it has been a while. I stopped blogging b/c a lot of people found it too intense or something. A lot has actually happened since the last blog. Not sure what to say except that people continue to startle and amaze me - and usually not in the good way. How do people manage when people they thought were their friends turn on them? I've never dealt with it well. (Is there a good way to deal with that?)

I find myself intermittently happy and sad these days. Sometimes I just want to curl up and sleep. Others I'm happy and joking.

But, it has certainly been a time of changes.
