Title: Hi all :)
Post by: Welshcowboy on March 27, 2013, 01:54:48 PM

Hello all,
I've suffered with depression for 4 years or so, or at least it was noticed as depression.

In basic I think I have depression due to loss, over the past few years ive been up the top and crashed to the bottom, I level off and then something will happen and bang... Life becomes unbearable.

In the past 12 months I've lost both my dad and my dear grandmother who I was really close to, and of late found out my partner of 8 years had been cheating the whole duration of our relationship.
As a newly single person without my usual support network I'm finding my depression becoming worse.
My trouble is that I deny my illness to anybody and find myself always having to act like everything is fine and so am I, so alone time is think and cope with time.

I'm here to be open and honest and to speak with people who have been through what I am, or to meet and talk to people who understand.

I look forward to getting to know you guys on the forum.

C
