Please do not feel guilty about on your posts on here. You are certainly not wasting space. That's what the message board is for, for everyone to share experiences, trade knowledge and ask questions. Even though many ppl on here have it worse on here than me, they are not in my shoes and cannot speak for me. I may have something, medically, less serious, but I may not be handling it anywhere as good as someone who has something 100 times worse and so on. Again, that's what this board is for and we appreciate you sharing your views.
I know how you feel about wasted time. I feel that way about the last nine years of my life. Like I did nothing, accomplished nothing and saw life past me by. However, that is a mistaken belief. I did do things, maybe not at the same pace as before. I'm sure you've have, too. The fact that you have maintained friends, even though you havent traveled as before, is proof of that.
Again, though, I offer you hope: There are people on here who have probably felt like they had 30 wasted years, but then somehow pullled out of their slump, whether it was counseling or meds or by an act of God. There is always hope. You've got to cling on to that.
