Hi Andy...

How are you doing? I can empathise with how you feel. I have suffered on and off with depression for the last 15ish years, am 31 and love spending time with the small people in my ife (nieces and nephews).

I have other family and people around me, but i dont feel like i can talk to them, even though they know about my illness.

What are you doing at the moment to manage how you are feeling?

Hi Woozy Woo,
sorry for the delay in replying. I guess thats the answer to your question, I try to keep as busy as i can with work. Im throwing myself into it at the moment and im glad im back at work soon as im having a bad christmas

Things just seem to be getting worse at the moment and im feeling worse about myself.

[Lol]

Andy I'm sorry that you are feeling so low at the moment. Christmas has been particularly difficult for a lot of us. Is there anything in particular that is making you feel worse at the moment?

Many people that are 100% fit and well find christmas stressful Andy and I think for those of us that are depressed it heightens many of our negative feelings, I hope you feel better very soon xx

Hello Andy;

I found it rather strange that you are from the West Midlands as I am too; small world :)

I understand how hard depression can be and how solace can be found in small packages; in your case your neice and nephew.

I hope this forum can assist in your happiness; I would be happy to talk with you on this forum and offer any advice that I may be able to give.

Kind regards, Jess x
