...See more I browse the forums each day and see many people that have worries, concerns or are simply in the midst of deep depression. I feel like i should post something but i never do. Part of it is the policy that says that everything you say must be positive even if something negative sounding is correct/factual. Its this judgement by staff of who's post is good enough and who's is not that gets in my way. My self confidence is almost nonexistent to start with. Being told that what i post is not acceptable reminds me of my childhood where good was never good enough. I have more experience with depression and anxiety then most people 58 years worth yet someone that might have never has clinical depression get to choose what is said here. I feel like my sickness is just not as good as others people sickness when it comes to this. If this was highschool and the Jocks didn't want to hang with me i could understand. This is a mental heath website and these are my people at least in the sense that we have one thing in common, mental heath issues. Yet i feel like i don't even belong here.

...See more I would be nice after answering the questions for the sign up to be able to read the profile of the person I have been matched to. I might get an idea if the persons methodology is right for me before i spend $159. Not that the price is bad its just that over many years wasted time with therapists that were not a good match. 
Why am i not sad?

...See more This summer my friend. Actually my only friend that I have had for 30 years has ghosted me.  We went to school together, in the past lived together, and up until this year saw weekly.  There is one thing bothering me about this is that it is not bothering me. For some reason I don't care one way or another. I know I should or at least a normal person would but it turns out i am far from normal in this respect.

...See more I am helping interview people for a position in my department. Its just a team asking a bunch of standardized questions that we have been given. What I realized is that I could never get a job were I work now. I could not pass the application portion let alone the interview and background check.  This will be the last job i ever have.

...See more After dinner I walked my dog as I always do. During the walk I noticed something odd. Something different. I noticed i didn't feel weird. I have not felt right, like myself, like I am in the right place since I stopped drinking nearly 5 years ago. Is this what its like for most people? Have I reached the other side?
Only in the movies.

...See more You know where in movies where someone gets hit in the head and therefore they forget who they are. I wish that would happen to me.

...See more “Ghost of the Future, I fear you more than any specter I have seen. But as I know your purpose is to do me good, and as I hope to live to be another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear you company, and do it with a thankful heart. Will you not speak to me?”
Has this happened to you?

...See more I have been going out to Meetups to do exposure therapy for about 2 months now. This time i did rather well. I was able to talk to people and not freak out. After about 1.5 hours I decided to go home. I left the coffee house and when I got into my car I was hit with a panic attack. Has anyone else had a delayed reaction like this?
