Hi Marina, Welcome to the site. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Don't ever feel you have to apologize for long posts, as we are all here to support you. This is a great place to share your feelings and experiences of depression. As you have not been to a doctor yet, I would recommend you see your doctor soon to let them know how you have been feeling. When you call to book, you don't have to get into big details, just say it is personal. In preparation for your visit, you may want to check out some of information and tools available on the site. Please feel free to roam the site at your own pace. If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find our Depression Test. This test is not a diagnostic tool and is not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. If you have any question or concerns with our site or please contact Support Department at support@depressioncenter.net. We are open to any questions or concerns you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Casey ____________________________________ The Depression Center Support Team Edited on 12/4/2004 @ 10:28:33 AM by The Support Team

I just wanted to put my aol thing on here. Its brand new. I'm afraid I talk to people on line as infrequently as I do in person, well actually less. My screen name is 'marina tru.' So if anybody wants to talk, that would be cool.

Hi, I'm pretty excited to join this community. Recently I have hit a new low in my life and I just don't know what to do about it all. I've never been a happy person, as long as I can remember anyway. Well maybe before kindergarten, when I was very young. I recently graduated from college and am trying to find work. I've not been very successful, and its left me with a lot of time to think about stuff. And since I don't have any friends here (or many anywhere for that matter), its been awful. Right now I feel like I will never have work, never find friends, and I'll just deteriorate away I'm until I'm not a person anymore. I don't know what's wrong with me necessarily. I know I'm depressed. I've never been to a doctor about it, and I can't imagine going. How do people like me every get to a doctor? How do you make a phone call, or walk into an office? I don't know how people ever find help, and I don't know how I will. I've lived in a few places while in college, and even went on foreign exchange, but I've never made a place for myself anywhere I've been. I was in one place four years and just recently left, but I can't go back and stay with friends. I don't even have good friends there, its pathetic. Just acquaintances. Now I'm back at home, and I don't know anyone here anymore, and the chances of me meeting people are very slim. I don't even know how to make friends anymore. I can't believe I ever did. I'm so cautious of everything I do and say in front of people, that I never ever loosen up or become a real person in front of them. So I just don't see any future for me. I don't have much hope. Thanks to anybody who read this. I do hope I can be a better person someday. Hope this wasn't too long.
