On a more serious note, I have a few good friends who help me through the tough times. Recently I've discovered how therapeutic it can be to talk things over instead of keeping problems bottled up and not seeking advice. This Monte Carlo Forum has introduced me to one GOOD FRIEND in particular who helps me overcome blue feelings and go on with life. I wish everyone reading this could know one person as important to their life as this friend is to mine.

 

Ive been dealing with depression off & on for a few years now, never told anyone about it & just went threw it alone & usually was able to get outta the rut for awhile but as of recently i havnt been able to pull outta it, & after seeing this thread i decided to ask a freind for help (or i thought they were a friend) but they wont even talk to me about it which has made things worse i must say, so im here alone as usual with my thoughts which is nvr a good thing, ive been able to hide it from everyone but inside im empty, i deff struggle with it but hopefully someday ill get threw it but as of now that is a long ways away, if even possable to beat it
