Thanks for the nice replies guys, I didn't think it would, but it does give a bit of comfort to know you are not alone - even if it is through an anonymous internet forum. Rich R: That is EXACTLY it.....who am I to feel like this when I have food, a roof over my head and clothes on my back. I feel so ashamed of feeling like this when I KNOW there are people much worse off than me, and its this judgement that makes me keep it all inside and want to deal with this on my own - if truth be know my family are a big part of why I feel the way I do, and I do not want to burden them(it would be a burden, trust me) but that is for another post when I feel more comfortable sharing my situation problems. Most people think I am fine, happy, the joker of the group, and I used to be.....now I am that just as a mask on the outside, when inside I feel like I am falling apart, crying for no reason out of the blue (my eyes started dripping as I write this), unable to sleep, going out only when I need food or cigarettes. *sigh* I will continue to read around the board, and hopefully feel able to share sooner rather than later. Thanks again.
