Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Something occurred to me today. I still feel like a little kid most of the time. I mean I'm soon to be 37 years old.

Is this just the self doubt or depression talking or has my ex immasculated me to this point? Any opinions are welcome.

Free yourself if you can////good luck and hope you feel better
