I'M BACK

[Gemma]

I've been away for a while, keeping busy with Uni and stuff, but now I'm back!

Just wanted you guys to know that I've done something I've been meaning to do for ages and I want everyone's opinion. I've worked hard on this and it's for all the wonderful people I've met here that I've done it.
Just give it a read. Hopefully, it'll do exactly what I intended it to do for those of us who are suffering.

Love to you all xxxx

This was really nice to read Gemma and really well written! I always wanted to be a journalist... I like your sense of humour and most importantly how open minded you are. You are clearly smart. I would just say talk to the people around you about how you feel ALL the time. Unfortunately I have nowhere to turn other than this forum ... but this forum has helped me somewhat. I have a comfy bed but as for the other things you listed that you can appreciate I have none.

I dont know how deep your depression is but I find that there are many songs that help relax my brain and put me at peace when things get really bad. Here is one example if you have the time:

The video is extremely depressing but I like it. I wish there were more people like you in the world who are expressive with their thoughts and emotions in a completely open and constructive way. It helps people like me.

Wow Mark, thank you. You've just made me feel a lot better after the crappy day I've had.

I try my best to look at the positives. It's really difficult for me to cope at the moment and when I was last here, everyone was so helpful. I didn't know how to return that help in any other way but raising awareness. The fact I want to be a journalist keeps me going at the moment.

Thank you for taking the time to read and thank you for your advice. I hope everything gets better for you soon

Hello.

I liked your blog but I did notice a couple of spelling mistakes. You are beautiful and a depressive, and I am also beautiful and a depressive, so we should get married quite soon. Your boyfriend will not mind.
