Sad

[54andblue]

I am a 54 year old woman. I have suffered from some type of depression most of my life. It started as a small child I used to look forward to naps. I also had a very active fantasy life. When I became a teenager I started drinking and using drugs to feel normal. I am now once again in recovery and haven't had a drink in 7 months. That being said I still feel sad and empty inside. I have no interest in things I used to love doing. I don't trust anyone and can't stand being around lots of people. Sometimes I feel like I did when I was a child. I was wondering if anyone has ever felt this way.

Hey there 54andblue. It's very nice to meet you. I'm sorry for everything that you've been through. It's good that you found this place though because at least you now know your not along in this horrible battle.

This is a wonderful place and we're happy to have you here with us. I know how you feel about feeling so empty inside and how hard it is to find trust in people. I hope that you like it here and keep coming back.

Love and hugs
