Wow Kath, thank you for remembering me and noticing my absence. That means a lot to me.
I do still read fairly regularly.. several times a week. I havent posted in some time. Partially because I've noticed that whenever I try to get back into it, I post and then cant get myself to continue responding (work stress, tiredness, whatever) and then feel bad for doing that to people. The other reason, and probably the more true one, is that I used to be active on another board as well and when I got "better", a few close "friends" there suddenly had no interest in me anymore. I havent had that experience here (although i guess I never really became that close with anyone here anyway) but it felt too icky once to risk it again.
I'm doing okay. Better than a year ago, but still some pretty rough days. I have a new job which is stress-through-the-roof on a daily basis. I'm having to learn to expand my comfort zone every day. It's good, mostly. The depression makes that kind of functioning hard, on the harder days.
I miss you all.
Thanks again for remembering me!
