Hello, I'm new to all of this. I have been struggling for some time now and finally plucked up the nerve to go and see my doctor this week. I thought I'd join this sight to see if there's people out there who I can talk openly to.
My husband does not understand what's going on or how I feel, he doesn't want to talk about it and gets frustrated when all I seam to do lately is cry, His solution!.... 'just go see the doctor and get some happy pills' that will sort you out!!.... as you can tell he's not the most sympathetic of men. We have just recently moved house so I have no friends or family close by anymore and feel completely alone.
I've never suffered from depression before, to the outside world I'm a strong self employed business woman, coping with work, staff, and 2 children (9 &13) as well as running the family home, but underneath I'm crumbling fast and finding it more and more difficult to get out of bed and put the 'happy face' on..... most mornings I sit in my car and fight the urge to just turn the key and drive away.... never to be seen again!!!.... that cant be normal, can it??, what type of mother and wife does that make me!!!
So, I'm hoping that now I've started the ball rolling and have admitted to myself that I cant cope things will soon look better!
It would be good to talk to people who are going through the same, I just don't want to feel alone anymore!

:welcome: lexie,
I have done that over the years of putting on the 'happy' face. People who don't suffer with depression don't know to deal with people who. Depression is one of those illnesses that make people feel awkward and don't know how to talk someone who does. I remember when I finally got the courage to tell my parents and my mum replied that she hoped I got over it soon :bash:
