I am alone most times but I don't feel lonely. Basically due to
WARMTH and LOVE in my family which made me don't feel lonely.
When stress, I call HELPLINES, I talk to people, I post my problems
in the forums etc. In addition, I need to be on medication when I
am stressed. My counsellor has taught me breathing
skill/meditation, I'm still practising it. Listening to music and
watching TV also helps.
Took me 2-3 yrs to cope with my DEPRESSION. Now I am learning to
cope with my STRESS.
