Are there others like me?

Actually, I agree with Lee above, if this depression is chronic maybe you should see a Dr.

Or it could be you are not as comfortable with who you are as you should be.

Anyway, whatever the solution, we are all her to help in any way we can.

Dear DB,

I must say that I empathize with the anger and frustration. I go through cycles where I hate the world and everything within it and where I close my eyes and go along for the ride. I am rarely, if ever, happy, and am ALWAYS angry and irritated. The sadness comes and goes, but the anger is always there. I have very few friends, and the close friends that I have had have all judged me and no longer speak with me. Obviously, my biggest fear is of rejection, and I now rarely stick my neck out to meet others. This forum is my first attempt at sticking to something.

I am horrible at meaningful conversations, and usually never manage to say anything to make anyone else feel any better (hence why people never call me anymore to talk about their problems), but I wanted to tell you that you are not alone, and I admire your having the ability to tell your story. I am not yet at that level.
