Hi everyone, I'm still around. I know I havent been posting lately, but I've been reading every single day. I want to try to start posting again, and I just wanted to formally (ha) announce that I'm making an attempt to get involved... in hopes that announcing it will keep me to it. When my depression gets worse, I isolate myself completely, both online and in the real world. But you all are so wonderful and interesting, I really do want to be part of this community.. so I am going to try my best to post, and not just read silently. I just dont want to be the weird person who comes, gives 1 opinion, and runs away. Like I said, I read every day and I'm going to try to stick around this time. I hope everyone is doing well. Happy Friday!

I think it's wonderful that you're going to start posting again. I find it theraputic for my anxiety and depression. My only outlet right now. So you've made a committment. And I'm glad for you. Welcome back to babbleland!!!!!!!Love Phillipa

Hi WishingStar,
Glad to see you :)
Don't isolate too much, you hear? We like you just fine.And if you don't feel up to it for a little while, that's okay too, don't feel too guilty. Just pop back in when you get a chance. You're reading, so that means that you're doing most of the work already. All you have to do now is just write a few lines, or a small comment.
Let us know how we can help you get through this tough time-- maybe we can help?
yours,
-ll

Hi wishingstar,
You don't have to write a book to post here - you aren't weird. It's ok to be quiet sometimes (at least I hope so)

I know it's okay to be quiet sometimes. I just dont want to be that person who comes on, makes 1 or 2 random comments, and disappears... leaving everyone going "wait, who are you again?" I sometimes am afraid that I dont have enough to offer here, but I know that's my bad side talking, and it isnt true. Thanks for the welcomes everyone. :)

> xo rainbutterflyOf course it is! And say whatever you want! I say completely stupid things here all the time! No one cares. People are very accepting here. Try not to hold back. But don't feel under pressure either. Its all good.
