Well, I have been off the board for a long time. I hope that everyone is continuing their progress. I feel myself slipping backwards. Not that I was ever out completely. I think that I never will be, but doing somewhat better. I just sometimes wonder why so many good people have to deal with such a difficult and unpredictable disorder. I am glad that I have you all to come back to. I feel very lonely lately. Even in a room full of people.

When someone is away for a while, I always hope that their life is going so well. Then when they come back many times the depression/anxiety is starting to get worse again.

So I am glad you are back because I'm selfish and it's nice to have you back--but I'm sad that you are back because you're starting to slip backwards. So we're here and my cats still rule the household and boss me around--but at least they don't yell at me.

Sorry to hear you are struggling lately but happy to have your voice back on the board. What is going on in your life?
