Replies to 'Giving and Receiving Support'

Hi

Not sure where to begin. I am a frequent watcher of this show.  I'm a young adult with depression and anxiety for quite awhile now.    Being a male with these has been rough. 

Thank you for doing the bully shows! I was bullied in school and sure wished more was done at that point. I was hospitilized in the psych ward because I wanted to hurt myself /others. I was also locked in my room from the inside by my parents.  This is really tough to talk about.  I really do care about people and can relate.  I've been on so many different meds and have seen many therapists.  I would like to go into more details about my not so good therapy experiences, however I am lucky to have seen one therpist for quite awhile.  I'm not here to judge or to say therapy is a bad thing. I just want to feel that I'm not alone and don't want others to feel that way, know what i mean?  Loneliness is such an awful thing. 

I am doing much better thanks so much to music!  Music does wonders.  I am the organist at 2 churches and am on staff at my junior college playing piano for 3 choirs.  People are so nice there. I also sing, play violin,& percussion,&handbells.

Thanks so much.  I feel better. 

Hope to give and receive support,

Ryan
