I love my husband dearly but he does not understand this one simple fact about depression and anxiety. [View all]

The ability to let it all out, to just babble about whatever has a cleansing effect that cannot be faked. Those like my taciturn husband would rather just play a video game than engage with me about whatever is getting me down or stressing me out.

That is why I am so indebted to this site, this forum, and this group of amazing people.

I know I can come here and just let it out, even when it is mostly total crap and bile that has built from being who I am and in the situation I am in.

So, although I have said it before, I will repeat... Thank You All very much!
