Hi, I am new to this forum so I thought i'd say hi. I joined because I'm struggling to cope with my day to day life with depression and figured I might find some comfort knowing there might be people on this going through the same thing, that understand how I am feeling unlike those around me. I was diagnosed with depression last summer but i've had it on and off throughout my life..recently though things seem to be spiralling out of control, I can't sleep at night at all, I don't have any motivation to get out and do stuff, or even socialise with any of my friends. I'm quite young and I feel such an outsider, all my friends are partying, going out and having a great time and I feel as though i'm falling behind, being weighed down by the depression.
