Title: Hi
Post by: Thursdays Child on April 10, 2012, 08:39:58 PM

Just saying hi.  I've a long history of so called mild depression over the past 20 years which is raising its ugly head yet again.  I've had an extremely bad day today, hence seeking out a specific forum like this one. 

I'm not sure I am ready to open up just yet, so if its ok with everyone I will just loiter for a while and see how things pan out.

I'm not much fun at the moment but I really need someone to talk to who isn't going to say "you're just feeling sorry for yourself" or "pull yourself together woman".

Hi and welcome to the forum

I'm new to this as well but the people on here have been great and, in my experience, would never demean how you feel by telling you to pull yourself together.  I hope that as you "loiter" you get comfortable and be able to talk about how you are feeling.

Good luck with everything

Hello TC and welcome to the forum,

Please feel free to just read and peruse the posts.

We understand depression here, we do not judge and we would never tell you to pull yourself together.

Take care

Hi TC,

I'm new here too and found this forum a great help. My hubby is newly diagnosed with depression and I needed a lot of advice on how best to support him. This forum and everyone are very supportive.
