Bonnie, glad you had a good day. You will get through the new years fine. We got stuffed around our house too.

Hi Bonnie!
Welcome to the forum! Please don't worry about " fitting in ". As long as you feel this forum is of help to you then that's all you need to " fit in ". Also, please feel free to post as often as you want. In fact, I'm hoping that you will. I've learnt a lot from reading other peoples' posts on this forum, and I've learnt to value having access to many different new points of view. These new points of view and ways of looking at the world have helped me immeasurably in my, so-far still partial, recovery. ( Particularly, Warmsoul's quotes and meditations for the depression forums! ) Please remember that the only person that can share your point of view and perspective with the world is...you! ( No pressure though! )
I also sometimes feel awkward when it comes to talking about my own anxiety and depression, as it does sometimes seem that so many other people have worse problems than mine. I don't want to seem that I'm being self-pitying, or self-indulgent, and men are also just crap when it comes to talking about their feelings! ( Just another one of a long list of things that women are better at! Sigh! ) However, I accept that my problems are real and to manage them I need help. And that's the way, theonly way, this site can ever work! Isn't it! This is a place where we are all free to bring our problems hopes, and insights, ( I'm actually rather counting on everyone else for the wise insights! ) and help to get ourselves and each other back on track.
Good luck!
