Welcome to our forum 4loss....i am checking in just before a meeting ..so this is just a quick "glad you are here" message. I relate to everything you are saying. I have a mushy faced wrinkled full bred english bulldog who makes me smile every time i look at him! I am definitely on the day to day thing...as most of us suffering depression are. So you are among friends who really care...REALLY care. I have found that we special people have to think out of the box to find people to bond with...and the really strange and unique thing about this issue is that...the people i personally have found...are on forums such as this. Isn't that peculiar? Being a people person....as in real live breathing human entities i can reach out and touch....it has been rather enlightening to find that i find more acceptance and concern and caring from virtual people in a virtual reality! I kind of joke about this online forum world...as an alternative universe...i'm only partially kidding....it just seems somehow wrong that...speaking for myself .....the people who inhabit my "real" world...are just not there for me. Yet the gentle souls i find on this forum, for instance...these are the folks who are "here".....or is it "there"for me? Which makes me feel way more comfortable living amongst my living and caring people in my personal alternative universe!!

I am just having a bit of fun with these ideas and silly thoughts....it is kind of my quirky way of looking at my world and the unique characters who inhabit it physically and virtually. For me personally, i find that a bit of dark humor gets me through the day. (It also makes me seem strange and eccentric to others...which only makes me laugh more!)

Again, so glad to see you here...well...is that "see" you..or "read" you? Blessings to you 4loss. Stay with us and find a bit of fun, advice, opinions, and comfort and concern.
