Shotokan really does it for me. Love it! =]

I have a quite similiar story.
I have always been an outsider, in school and at work, and went through some depressions. I would never have called me happy, even though the last depression faded away some years before starting karate.
But it took just some weeks after starting it until I found myself more happy then I have ever been in my life. And right after that I found I'm more confident with other people, and getting easier over things which would really have torn my down earlier.

Blade 96 I feel that I can relate to your background. Training gave me back my confidence and giving what was given to me through teaching others gave me back my sense of self worth. I think the martial arts can be the first step in a direction that mends what was broken. Once you start down that path pay attention. Take in as much of what is happening around you as you can. Use your past to change your future and with the experience you have reach out to others. That connection you find with other people could be a great source of happiness.
