I remember a good friend of mine saying that this was exactly the time to reach out for support, even if it's attending an organized support group. It's really easy to fall into habits of solitude, but having contact with other people who care about us is important. Loneliness is something that all of us deal with.Sarah Sayshttp://bit.ly/eCsP5inoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717101951772578912.post-21296973019236889322011-01-08T23:16:00.561-05:002011-01-08T23:16:00.561-05:00Hey Steph - I can't thank you enough for being...Hey Steph - I can't thank you enough for being as brave as you are in writing these posts. They speak to me deeply, especially this one because it made me really realize how much I've been fighting to stay alone and lonely at the same time as become accepted by those around me. I still don't know which one I want, but it's nice to know there are others out there with the same feelings as me.<br /><br />I was diagnosed with depression at 11, which worsened when my parents divorced when I was 15. On top of that I developed anxiety disorder, panic attacks and insomnia once I went to college which comprimised my physical health so much I was forced to drop out. I claim to be recovering on the outside but I honestly still feel "broken". Reading your words gives me hope that I can work through this and become stronger as a result. Thanks again.<br /><br />Sarah (AKA @jo_jo_ba)Sarah Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995934753291549654noreply@blogger.com
