A tentative hello
« on: February 28, 2012, 08:52:20 AM »
Hi

Spent a lot of time yesterday on the internet researching all there is to know about depression and came across this forum.... after about 2 hours of reading some of the posts and journals I finally plucked up the courage to register. So here I am, saying hello. That's about as far as I'm brave enough to go at the moment. But I would like to thank everyone from the off for sharing their stories - it helped yesterday to know there are others who share similar thoughts to me.

Hi, your very welcome here.  &*(   

I can remember reading the posts on this forum for weeks before I plucked up enough courage to register, but I am really glad I did as it is helping me a lot.

Feel free to post more when you are up to it,  I find it useful to talk about how I am feeling as I don't really tell anyone else.  As yet I haven't managed to tell anyone about the things that went on in my past.  It all takes time but we are here when you need us.  :)

Hello and  .>, Char,

This forum has helped me so much.  Just knowing I am not alone with this illness.  Everyone here are lovely.  We all understand and help and support each other.

I found it hard to post at first so just join in when you feel you can.

Thanks for all the welcome messages. This forum certainly does seem like the safe haven I have been looking for. I listened to the song posted by Pip in the uplifting music topic and felt that perhaps this is my 'roof' and just felt better for finding it - thanks Pip!

Hi Char, welcome to the forum. It took me years to open up about my 'illness' and problems (and I probably only did because I was forced to in certain situations). It's very painful at first but it gets easier and I think it does really help in the long run. This is the perfect place to say anything you feel you might need to, we'll be here to read what you have to say and offer support where we can, whenever (or if ever) you're ready. x

Hello Char,

 .>,

It's so important to me to feel I'm not alone in depression and finding the forum was like 'the light switch going on' for me. x
