@ Punky
I know how you feel. I'm suffering from the same symptoms. It sucks. My window's are slightly open, so my cat can view the outside world, but I usually just hide away, from everything, 'cos the past two years have been ULTIMATELY sh!tty to me.
I'd be alot worse off, if it wasn't for a mate of mine, my roommate, to be more precise. She's helped me get out of the shell I've forced myself within, albeit very slowly. You'd dig on her. She's a punk-rawker and of the old-school type. Maybe she can help ya out, like she did me. I'll hook you up with her IM, if you want to BS with her.
Anyways, I hope this makes you feel better, 'cos I believe in it and just about nothing else:
Don't believe in anyone who doesn't believe in you....
