> Thanks for responding roo. A lot what you said makes sense and is similar to what I have felt. What I worry about now is the future. How am I going to calm this anxiety when I get into a new relationship or when will I be ready? I guess I need to deal with similar issues about self love. I am sure a very distant relationship with both parents hasnt helped, but I am trying to reconcile these relationships. Recently my depression has been lifting and on some days I feel very confident and ready to jump back in, but then just as quickly it appears it's gone and I feel inadequate and scared again. My sex drive also isnt what it used to be. I used to look forward to sex so much, almost to an unhealthy level, now it's nowhere in sight. Or at the very least it's inconsistent. I am also thinking there may be some performance anxiety tied in somewhere. This depression business sucks! I just want to enjoy one of life's simple pleasures again, but alas, I guess when depressed life isnt so simple.
