Hi, I am new to here too
« on: May 25, 2011, 10:03:12 AM »
Hello I found this site and wanted to join in.
I have been feeling really down, I am getting negative and am always teaful. It affects my life and my partner. I need help and need somebody to share with.
I know I am in depression but this is not new to me so I am fed up with myself.
Sorry not nice intro. Hope to hear from you.

Hi and welcome :)

Thats a great introduction - the more you open up about things the more people that can relate and help you on this website :)

If you ever need someone to talk to, message me on here or e-mail me on: heather_xox@msn.com - or you could just talk to anyone else!

I've been through depression for the past few years and I completely understand what you're going through.

Hope you are okay, lots of love x

Ezel

Thanks to all.  ;)
I am already feeling a bit better to hear from you.
I just wonder how other people are dealing with own depression.
For me, exercises generally help and I tyr to avoid tablets. So I am going out and have some fresh air.
Hope that will help.

A warm welcome to the forum, getting out and about in the fresh air is really helpful, even for a walk for 30mins is good.  Doing things you enjoy and not feeling guilty about it ............. take care.
Poor is the person who takes pleasure out of the persecution of others

Thanks George.
I went out first time this week and felt like being human again.
So I have done more today. I’ve been to swimming and have walked to there. Now I am exhausted but exercises keep me sane.

By the way, I have been studying health and social care and this is interesting module.
But the current subject is about "social exclusion" which is almost always linked with poverty and isolation. I am neither wealthy nor poor, but I have been feeling excluded from this society and have strong feeling of isolation, as I do not have root in this country and had no contact with own families. More I study, more I feel difficult to detach myself from the subject.
 
This subject made me feel resentful because I couldn't (and still cannot) get support in early days when my condition was very bad and only reason I could think about was I was not poor enough. But I cannot afford to get privately. I know this sounds odd, should I think I am better off ?
