Title: Hi, I am new to here too
Post by: seaflower on May 25, 2011, 10:03:12 AM

Hello I found this site and wanted to join in.
I have been feeling really down, I am getting negative and am always teaful. It affects my life and my partner. I need help and need somebody to share with.
I know I am in depression but this is not new to me so I am fed up with myself.
Sorry not nice intro. Hope to hear from you.

Hi and welcome :)

Thats a great introduction - the more you open up about things the more people that can relate and help you on this website :)

If you ever need someone to talk to, message me on here or e-mail me on: heather_xox@msn.com - or you could just talk to anyone else!

I've been through depression for the past few years and I completely understand what you're going through.

Hope you are okay, lots of love x

Thanks to all.  ;)
I am already feeling a bit better to hear from you.
I just wonder how other people are dealing with own depression.
For me, exercises generally help and I tyr to avoid tablets. So I am going out and have some fresh air.
Hope that will help.

A warm welcome to the forum, getting out and about in the fresh air is really helpful, even for a walk for 30mins is good.  Doing things you enjoy and not feeling guilty about it ............. take care.

Thanks George.
I went out first time this week and felt like being human again.
So I have done more today. I’ve been to swimming and have walked to there. Now I am exhausted but exercises keep me sane.

By the way, I have been studying health and social care and this is interesting module.
But the current subject is about "social exclusion" which is almost always linked with poverty and isolation. I am neither wealthy nor poor, but I have been feeling excluded from this society and have strong feeling of isolation, as I do not have root in this country and had no contact with own families. More I study, more I feel difficult to detach myself from the subject.
 
This subject made me feel resentful because I couldn't (and still cannot) get support in early days when my condition was very bad and only reason I could think about was I was not poor enough. But I cannot afford to get privately. I know this sounds odd, should I think I am better off ?
