https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hi-there/m-p/483551#M26166 Hi guys! I'm new here (although I've read through posts in the past) so thought I'd say hello. I'm a 31 yr old mum and I've had depression since I was 14. In January I FINALLY weaned off my meds and I'm feeling pretty confident without them. I still have a lot of healing to do from past traumas, and need to build my self-esteem but I'm getting there. Recently my partner has become depressed (which I posted about on a different forum) so that is a new challenge. Hopefully this will be a good place to give and get support <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> Tue, 28 May 2019 04:41:00 GMT MeerKatMum 2019-05-28T04:41:00Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hi-there/m-p/483551#M26166 Hi guys!
