have you ever been stuck in a mire, a swamp of loneliness, self doubt, crippling low self esteem and fear? how did you get out of it?? therapy? pills? I'm open to suggestions.

well i haven't.
but if i were you i'd try therapy. not sure whether it'll help, but doing nothing won't get you anywhere either, so there isn't really anything to lose?

Actualy doing nothing is the best thing to do if it's just a phase. If it's regular then maybe therapy but meds do nothing for you in the long run. At the end of the day meds are the easy thing for the "docs" since it gets you off their backs and feeding into an illusion that your "ok now". Have you ever thought of not doing anything and listen to yourself? I think people have forgotton how to do that. It's cliche' but you have the answers.

you're new here so you can't know but dolores has been whining ever since i joined here, which was more than 2 years ago. so i doubt it's a phase or anything (s)he can deal with by her/himself
