Evenstar, I am sorry that you are in the space that you are in now. I also believe that it is a lack of having like minded individuals who have the same beliefs you do. Even though you have a great partner like Jeff it is nice to have some like minded friends as well. This forum is a great place to come to for like minded friends but it doesn't take the place of the living thing. I have been in a similar situation for a while now. When I lived in Florida my mate was Wiccan but she never celebrated her religion and all my friends were Christians. Not to mention that the city I lived in had run a couple of Pagan businesses out of town and had fined one particular family around $20,000 for breaking zoning laws by holding rituals in their back yard. I believe you can find info about that online if you type in "Wicca" and "Palm Bay" in the search bar. Not a very friendly place for Pagans. I am getting way off track here.
Anyways.... I have always found that when I am feeling lost or rooted with no feeling of growth that an affirmation of my faith always seems to help me. Go outside and sit next to a tree for a while. Feel its energy and wisdom. Try a meditation like the web and try to get connected with everything. These always worked for me. If you ever want to have a peaceful Wiccan(or any other type of conversation) you can give me a PM anytime.

Two sites that can help you find like-minded people are www.witchvox.com and www.meetup.com. Both have groups that meet, based on area. Maybe thier are many, or maybe thier are few in your area. To find a path, look for a local metaphysical/spiritual store (witchvox.com also has a store listing). If the store is a good one, it should have books of many paths. Spend time looking through books, and asking questions. Maybe a library will also have books on various paths. If you don't mind people knowing of the /wiccan, then a large book store, such as Books a Million or Barns & Nobles usually has books on the subjects. Good luck on finding like minded people.

It most likely is (to some extent) the season; I heard on the TV recently that this is a bad time for everyone. Post Christmas credit card bills, waiting for the spring, not enough sunlight can all have an effect on your mood.

YEAH!!! I'm not everyone!!! My christmas credit card debt is only 300, weather in Indiana is good enough right now to feel like spring, and the less sunlight for me, the better. I LOVE NOT FITTING IN!!!!
