Hi

I am new to this forum, struggling with depression and generalized anxiety.

Part of my problems is 'guilt', I seem to feel guilty for just about everything, including things that are really no ones fault!

Big hugs xxx

Hi Grandma,

Welcome to the boards. I read your post in the suggestions part. If you feel you would like to talk about self harm. The personality disorder boards has self harm written under them. If you are feeling like you would like to talk about self harm I suggest that you could start a new thread under that section of the boards. I will try and post as much as possible if you do post there. I understand that it's a really personal topic but is also something really worthwhile to get off your chest.

Welcome again,

Keith.

Hi Captain Keefy

Funny isn't it, I don't personally self harm in the sense of. 'Cutting',  etc., and had never thought of suicidal thoughts (sadly a frequent part of my life), as self harming, but I suppose failed attempts are and in the event of success its all immaterial.

Thank you for responding xxx

I'm really sorry. I'm a bit tired, I missed the thoughts part. Again I appologise, I wanted to let you know that there was a place on the board for you if you felt like getting something off you chest.

Grandma... I too was kinda shocked to realise suicide attempts are considered to be self-harm.

Hi

CF, please don't apologise, like Cat says, it isn't something that immediately comes to mind, but it makes perfect sense, and I really appreciated the directions.

Had a really good day today, in fact I have had a good week; scares me a bit as the last time I said that I really took a nose dive and took an overdose!  (Not a proper one but one to send me to sleep for the day so that I didn't have to deal with thoughts for the day- unfortunately, hubby panicked because I wasn't snoring!)!

No, I am going to be positive, I have had a good day!

Big hugs and thank you all for the welcome xxx

That would just be asking too much, eh?
