Quote: I was "re-becoming" (if that makes any sense ) the girl I'd always been, but that girl had been dormant for a long time. She was underneath layers of depression, sadness, defensiveness, self-pity and heartache.
Quote: Now, I had done all these things prior, but I had stopped - it was like I had just stopped existing - I slipped under life's radar.
I can relate to that. With me it was such a long - subtle process - that it seemed all of sudden I was in a hole and I didn't know how I had gotten there.
Do you mind of I ask - are you taking anti-depressants ? I am on zolaft - I wonder sometimes if its the AD's that had such a big affect on my attitude towards life or was it just me pulling myself up by the bootstraps... I had never taken AD's before when I was younger and I didn't have such a negative attitude then.
