Galkeepinon, thanks for your support.
It's hard to start all over again, why just last year I started a new job and was "dumped" (not by a lover, but by my former best friend). I hear the just brush yourself off advice from people at work, etc ... but everybody I hear it from either couldn't take the advice themselves or hasn't had to do it :-/
To answer your question, I finished college two years ago and moved across the country soon after I graduated to search for work. After a long stint of unemployment, I found a good job for a year, and this is my second "real job". I am very grateful to be working right now, even if the job isn't perfect! I have tried making friends in this town, but the friends I make move away or have more problems than I can deal with.
I do feel better than I did before - I can sleep nights, leave the house, concentrate on work. But I'm not happy and I wonder if I ever will be. I don't think meds can help with that. I certainly don't blame anybody for needing meds to function though - I know how that feels.
I'm curious - if you could give advice to your 24 year old self, what would you say?
