Married with a 13 year old son. Recovering alcoholic, I've had a few relapses. Currently on meds for depression and anxiety and it seems like it's not as effective as it used to be. I've been in recovery for 4 years. I've attended group meetings in the past and have gained a great deal of knowledge about depression. I was among the many who felt that "I was the only person on the planet who was dealing with demons". Although the meds and counseling has helped, I feel the need to continue to talk with others who understand how I feel. I attempted to find local support groups but was not able to. In my opinion, it's better to talk "with" someone than talk "to" someone. I've learned that there are lots of judgemental folks out there. I know, I used to be one of them. But I also know that there are a lot of people who don't judge. I'm looking for friendship. Friendships that are true in every sense of the word. People who know and understand the feelings of self loathing, tiredness, of having no self worth, of knowing what it's like to beat yourself up over mistakes that are made every day by millions of people. I was once told by a counselor that I had one of the biggest sticks he had ever seen. I realized he was talking about the way I emotionally beat myself up. And so I'm looking for friends that understand all of this crap like this particular counselor did. I have felt great over the last 4 years. But it seems like this dark cloud called "depression" wants to show it's ugly head again. I use to say that friends were "wanted". I now say.....friends are "needed". Ed
