Acknowledging it is the first step, the next one is definitely going to see your GP

Hi and welcome to the forum. Do you know what caused your depression?

hello...thanku!not exactly no. I know i have been having these feelings for 7 years now but they lie dorment for a while and are gradually becoming more frequent and worse! i feel like i do not have any excuse to feel like this...i have a loving family and had a great childhood, and great friends but yet still feel so lonely around them and slighty outcast if that makes sense?? i dont know what caused it.....but i think originally it stems from low self esteem as a teen and pressures to look and live upto the expectations of the people around me which have escualted over the years...im not too sure though :( x

Hi my name's Harry, I'm in a similar situation as yourself. It was the pressure of living up to expectations of family (in my case) that made me depressed. Both my brother and sister went to uni and now have good (well paid I mean) jobs, while i'm stuck in part time work. You're lucky you have supportive friends and family, i'm 'afraid' of telling my friends and family about my depression so I come on here. Hope things work out for you x
