I'm depressed again, despite keeping up on my antidepressants. I've wanted to call someone forever, but I don't know who. I've been considering religion, but then I remember it's all a bunch of crap. I wish I could as easily put any faith into humanity as they do in God. There are exceptions, but I find it hard to trust others with my life and

I don't envy you because I know it sucks to be depressed. But I'm glad I met you on here recently.

Faith is hard for me because I feel so strongly religion is all bs. The word faith is radioactive to me.

Heh, you too, eh? This is why I've decided to stick it out in Wyoming rather than live with my fundamentalist mother.

Anti-depressants almost never cure depression all by themselves. They "help" you through the rough spots - even if for some people the rough spot is forever. You will *feel* better from them, but if you don't do some cognitive-emotional-behavioral work the next time there's a problem you'll just sink back down again. Why? Because you haven't learned any long-term skills for dealing with life.

If you want to talk to someone, we could talk sometime. I know you don't know me, but it would be a good excuse to get to know me, if you want to.

I would love to get to know you. Talking to a stranger is always helpful, even if they don't remain a stranger for long.

I'll IM you tonight if you're around. If not, I'm really booked solid for most of the next two weeks.
