Long term mental health issues.

Honey_Badger — Fri, 28 Feb 2020 01:00:58 GMT

Hi. Long term sufferer of depression. It has destroyed my relationships, crippled my career and has been slowly degrading my health. I lie to everyone I speak to about myself because I'm too ashamed of everything I have and haven't done. I am nervous posting this as this is the most open I've been for 9 years. I would like to think this post is a step in the right direction. Fingers crossed.

Hi Honey Badger

Give yourself serious credit for raising your self to the challenge of posting here. Not easy for some. Raising our self gradually in small yet highly significant ways is often what can begin to make the difference in a life that appears as though it's never going to change.

Welcome 🙂

Hi Honey Badger

Please dont be nervous posting on the forums...As 'the rising' mentioned above...give yourself some serious credit for having the courage to post

When I joined these forums in 2016 I was petrified and didnt even write my own thread for a couple of months..so good on you!

I understand your pain as my mental health has also cost me the same...relationships....careers...and it hurts

You have made a serious step forward in finding some peace of mind Honey Badger...Nice1

the forums are a safe and non judgemental place for you to post....Your health and privacy are paramount here

I really hope you can stick around the forums...(if you wish to..)

any questions or comments are always welcome

my kind thoughts

Paul
