Another newbie hello!

Hi all, I joined this forum in the hope of being able to engage in discussions about depression (or to use my personal gangsta euphemism Big D). My family find it really hard to acknowledge that a) depression is an actual problem and b) I have depression - so I'm very glad to be part of this community. :)

Howdy howdy! :) (sorry, i just had to!)
It always helps to talk with others who ahve the same problems. My mothers some sort of crazy (I don't know what type because she isn't aware there's a problem with her and the doctor won't see her unless she goes herself) and my dads not around so i never got much support from my family. I did tell my mother but she forgot. It's like she's senile but she's been like it since she was 37.
Some of my friends did the old "pull yourself together!" thing and i pretty much told them to get f****d.
It's tough to deal with but eventually you find someone who understands and you can rely on.
where you from? :)
