" I am new as well, and can understand the non social, wanting to be alone aspects. I also used to be the bubberly one, always going out after work and having fun. Now i stay in doors, may go out once a week and spend loads of money that i don't have. Anytime you want to talk, let me know "

" One question, is the depression making you gamble or the other way around. It is very important to figure that out, because those are two problems you need to resolve. You profile shows a very healthy one in many many respects. It would be shameful to see all that dissolve to the ravages of gambling and depression. I hope you seek effective professional help so you can preserve those great qualities. That is what depression etc does, .. eats away the quality of life. Jump on a top-priority program to get these things managed ... with professional help. "

" do you have a psychiatrist &/or psychologist who is helping you or treating you. THat is what you need. B/c obviously going from normal to bad is a very disturbing feeling that we all have experienced. "

Im just starting t face what has happened to me as a little girl, and Im feeling like im in a rut and cant get out. I trying my ardest to get help....but i dont want to "talk" to someone...its so hard! I try to escape it by having a few drinks,....but i cant seem tomake the days go any faster! Im feeling like i just wanna spend the days in bed! not to bother with the kids(4 and 2yrs) I feel lik im failing them as a mother but i cant snap out of it! I dont want to do anything! it got so bad we r in debt about $2,000 cos i couldnt be bothered to go into town and pay bills-was just too much of an effort to do!
thanks for letting me 'vent'... I am sorry to be a buren on you all! Im sure you dont really need to hear all this!
