I've never joined a forum like this before, so feeling a bit nervous! I'm just looking for a bit of support from people who understand and for whom I can return that support. I've been suffering with depression and anxiety for about 14 years now, since I was 15, but this increased massively when I lost my mum suddenly almost 9 years ago. A lot of the time I feel so alone and wish I wasn't me. I started seeing a psychotherapist a few weeks ago, so I shall see where that leads. I'm not on any medication at the moment, I had a bit of a bad time on Venlafaxine a few months ago with it's horrible side effects and withdrawal symptoms, so my doctor suggested I had a couple of weeks drug free before I try something else.
A little bit about me... I love cats! I am such a mad cat lady hehe. And I love vintage clothes, indie and rock music... I work in a hospital and have just started working towards a health and social care degree with the Open University.
Lovely to meet you all! ^&^
