Hi, my name's Henry and I just want to introduce myself to the forum.
I've had to struggle with depression from when I was about 12/13. I had some bad luck as a teen; parents divorced, bullying, long term illness. Similar experiences to a lot of people here I'm sure. I'll be 30 this summer and I'm starting to feel a bit weary from it all. I had a bit of a 'breakdown' in January after a couple of knocks in my life last year. It scared me because I began to feel suicidal. I hasten to add that I only think about it, I'd never act on it. It's made me feel guilty because it feels such a pathetic state to be in. I hate admitting that I've felt that low. I am trying to 'rebuild' things after this low ebb. I've been on various A.Ds over the years (the current one is Mirtazipine), but none have really suited me. I've been seeing a psychotherapist for about a year which is a help. I guess I'm just feeling a bit lost I suppose. Any advice is welcome, best regards to everyone.
