School maybe?, when you say "no family" do you live alone? Hobbies? sports? Your interests?

      <description>It was really a rhetorical question.&amp;nbsp; There is no answer.&amp;nbsp; There is nothing. EMPTINESS!&amp;nbsp; LONELINESS!&amp;nbsp; ISOLATION! ANGER!&amp;nbsp; RAGE!&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It's relentless.&amp;nbsp; Noone has been able to help, not even this forum.&amp;nbsp; Always having to pretend.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, Rosie,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I beg to differ, many people of a vast array of issues we've helped here. Yes, some we cant help but we try. We are people with mental health challenges like you, we are not trained professionals and you can post here 24/7/365 if you dont mind typing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We community champions have experienced depression, some with suicidal thoughts even attempts, we survived and we are here now knowing what its like. Maybe you were unaware of that, but we are here listening. We need some basic information so we can help. Please Rosie, give me a try?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;INVISIBLE PAIN&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;At the depths of despair I didnt know what I needed so I cried&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wanted a shoulder to ask the question - why?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;there was no one around when there should have been&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was all alone in a chaotic world the noisiest I've ever seen&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And the bees still hummed and the possums did their hair&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;They also looked around and saw nobody there&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So it dawned on me that to climb that nearby hill&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I had to do it myself and find some determined will&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Along my way others reached and held out their hand&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;"They wont know, they wont understand"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then I stared at them and I realised why they tried to tell&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;They were on their way down, they had been to the top as well&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And the goats stood upon the outcropped rocky ledge&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Eagle soared above on watch for those that sledge&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;and the beauty of life can arrive in a moment in time&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thats the wonder of jumbling words that rhyme&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So we are all on the top of that hill and we all say hello&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Those that never climb remain as one in the valley below&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We join as one to listen and describe the invisible pain&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then descend and return to the normal world again...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So there is someone thats climbed your hill the hilltop of the free&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It's not easy having faith in the faces you cannot see&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But in a world we make choices among the nasty, the kind and all others in between&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have to put in some faith and type into the computer screen...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;TonyWK&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
