Yes, minimus.
Horribly sad and depressed.
In despair.
Broken-hearted.
Confused.
It's still hard sometimes.

That's like asking if your shorts stink after you shat in them. ;-)

I never got depressed. As the years went by, I started figuring out it was all bull. But I never was in despair over it.

Minimus, I only hope everyone decides not to post here that was depresed when this was discovered. It has been two years for me, and unfortunately I only found this place a few months ago. I tried booze, therepy, and meds-and still use the meds. My whole little world is busted wide open, and unfortunatly virtually ALL of my family/friends are now like aliens to me,or I to them. It is like the Twilight Zone.
If not for the isolation thing, and feeling defrauded my whole life, I could probably be happy about the new freedom from fear.
nothing is the same....oompa

Really, minimus?
I'm being sincere.
I've always been a joker, and always had a good time and pushed the envelope.
But deep down inside, in spite of doubts, i really hoped it was true.
Today I'm feeling pretty down.

OOMPA, it sounds like professional therapy could help.
