> Katey - you're too kind. You'd be in big trouble if I were your therapist - I'm not long on insight and I'd break all the rules about keeping my personal stuff out of therapy. It does help to have other people to help you process what's happening to you. You seem so independent -it's like you take on an awful lot by yourself. I can understand you're not wanting to bring your parents into this - I know I'd be the same way and regrettably, my kids might too although it would be awful for me thinking that they were going through something like that on their own. Depression is such an isolating illness - I hope you keep making good use of your friends and us of course too. (< :

> Mairi think that the 'unprofessional' details about home life and such help to build rapport and trust. its my parents fault that im so independant. they taught me to stand on my own two feet and it tends to backfire on them. i generally dont mind the solitude of the depression until the insecurities and anxieties set in and then i feel like no one wants to even be near me. i think thats when i feel most isolated. the more i'm around, the more i make use of the board. its nice talking to people who go trough the same things i do.
