Hi, I joined here last April but never posted anything so, about me- I'm 25 and have a hard time making friends. I moved from where I grew up a couple of years ago and moved back in with my parents and since that time I have not made one friend. I moved because I was really depressed (although I've never told anyone this) and felt like a new place would help, and it did tremendously. I still battle bouts of depression at times, but I haven't experiened the intense chronic depression that I had before I moved, for which I am very grateful. I had this absurd notion though that somehow moving to a new place would cure me of my SA. Well it hasn't and as my 26th birthday fast approaches I can't help but to reflect on my life thus far. I'm a bit of a dreamer and at times I feel really optimistic about my future, but at other times I just feel lonely and hopeless. I prefer to be optimistic but sometimes its hard. Anyway, I'm just about out of space b/c I'm using my ps3 to type this. Thanks for listening to me ramble:)

Hi new guy, and welcome! I'm pretty new here too. I know exactly what you mean about alternating between optimism and hopelessness--I do the same thing. I'm glad to hear that the chronic depression has passed, and I hope you find some help and consolation here!

Hi, welcome to the site. I feel exactly the same as you. I was having a moment of hopelessness a few hours ago and now I'm having optimistic thoughts again lol.

hello I'm pretty new here too, I totally am a dreamer too and I believe in the power of positive thoughts lots of times I catch myself thinking too black and white tho :/ it helps to know We aren't the only ones suffering from this crazy phobia tho. I feel I enjoy videogames more than I would if I didn't have SP but glad it allows me to escape this sad reality I live lol PS3 is my fave system.

Yes, video games offer a good escape from reality at times, just like reading and watching movies do also. For some reason its seen as something negative by many people, I never understood that.
