Hi,
I'm Rhiannon and like a lot of other people on this forum, I've also only just realised what's been 'wrong' with me over the last couple of years. For a while now a lot of not great things have been happening in my life in terms of my relationship, my job and lots of other things. I would get tired, moody, irritable for no apparent reason, cry at anything and at any time and I hid this well from family and close friends until it became too much and in front of my best friend I self harmed. He was shocked and told me I had to seek help. I did and was put on anti-depressants. I have been on those for a few months now and I have also switched jobs which has made life a lot more bearable. I still need to sort a lot out and I still have moments where I think about hurting myself or even worse. I have suffered from eating disorders in the past and my mum suffered from depression in her 20s too so I know I am 'vulnerable'. I have some great friends but I don't always want to put on them because, especially at my lowest points when I talk about suicide, they can't cope with that so I don't mention it so I came across this forum as a hope I could use this as an outlet too and maybe help other people too.
Thanks for reading this.
Rhiannon
