HUGS! Man! I can SOOO relate to that hiding in the corner, and I'm really glad to hear that things are going better.
Oh, no! I'm sorry you're able to relate! I hope things are going better for you too! *HUGS in return*
And let's be honest, I'm full of admiration for your courage in tackling this issue, and especially for sharing it with us.
That's very kind of you to say! To be honest, I don't feel very courageous, but I felt it was only right to share my experiences in case I could help anyone in a similar situation. Unfortunately, there's still a stigma attached to mental illness, and a lot of people keep their problems to themselves when they should be seeking help.
I'm also full of guilt as you've been dealing so well with all the AF admin while I've been hiding in my own corner for much less good reason.....(I suppose I should do a post really). Thank you Rusty :)
Oh, no! Please don't feel guilty about that! Taking care of the AF admin was actually a very helpful distraction. It allowed me to focus on something other than my own problems. And it's not as if there's been a lot of work involved. It's pretty simple most of the time. Oh, and because I've been involved with the AF admin, I've found myself attending more chats, which has been great because I've had a chance to get to know some really nice people. :-)
Of course, we're always happy to see you post, but don't force yourself to do so if you don't feel like it. Post when you've got the time and energy. :-)
