Hi Steve - its not a bad bunch on here! Lots of support and plenty of room to have a good vent if need be. You can spill your guts here.
I was shocked how badly depression can affect people and how many different treatments there are - with varying degrees of effectiveness.
I was first prescribed ADs when I was 7 - would never happen now thank goodness. I actually had Lupus but I'm back on the ADs now. I lost my mum and my brother very close together last Christmas so its been a bit of a struggle getting through this one but I'm doing it.
If you stick around you'll learn some really personnal stuff about all of us that we wouldn't necessarily share with casual aquaintances.
Look forward to hearing more from you

Are you working atm?

crazy_girl

yes for myself which is very stressful and isnt helping me to get any better or helping my suicidal thoughts

brydlesmansteve

why on earth are you suicidal?

crazy_girl

you'll have to read back, i dont want to cry again right now, ive only just stopped

brydlesmansteve

ok, but if they feel that you need hospitalisation to help you then you got to let them do it.

brydlesmansteve

Right,

I dont think I can handle this thread tbh guys. Good luck everyone, bye.
