This--is the website: Daily Strength. It is a place where good people who are in a bad place come to get support. Sometimes they need a little welcome. Sometimes they need some behavior guidance. Sometimes the bad guys come in and try to the good guys. That's where I come in. I am Alphonsus. I carry a badge. In reality, I'm just a guy with several truckloads of problems. This place has done wonders for me, and this badge allows me to give a little back. CL stands for Community Leader. This is the role I play sometimes in the Depression Support group. Most of the time I'm just another member giving and receiving support.
Becoming the mythical, well-adjusted, productive member of society. An impossible dream, I know. I get the most joy out of giving joy. I experience the most pain when I am unable to relieve the pain of another.

I have been diagnosed with ADD and depression in the past, and right now I seem to be stuck in a major period of non-functioning. Everything seems overwhelming. It's starting to affect my job.
Just a continuous, high pitched tone in both ears. It's gradually getting worse.
My wife has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She is driving me nuts, but I love her very much.
I once was debilitatingly shy. Now it's something that I can hide well but keeps me from living a full life.
I've related a story about my wife in the depression group. Someone there suggested that I'm being emotionally abused. I'm joining to find out what this group thinks.
Jumped up about 40 pounds in two years. No particular reason. I just like to eat.
