As many of you know i struggle with severe anxiety and depression, today we had a morning tea/lunch event at my local McDonalds and i went, i was extremely scared about going i hadn't had my anti depressant for the day until just a few moments ago and i made it through the whole thing! which is massive, i would usually do anything i could to avoid going to something like this but i did it! i actually went and spoke to people and got a long with a lot of the adults there! i know i'm only 18 but one lady was asking me if i am able to befriend her daughter to help her through the depression she is going through at the moment too. I can't believe i made it through a full nearly 4 hours surrounded by lots of people and screaming kids!!

BBR,

I am so HAPPY for you, ive been following some of your posts, and what you did was massive!! Congratulations on your milestone. I wonder if you can recall the sense of satisfaction you felt, not only by going but also by being asked to support someone, and use this as a motivator to push yourself beyond your comfort zone, even if just once a week.

I know what McDonalds can be like on a normal day, but add heaps of people and screaming kids...anyone would think you were crazy;););)

I have to go out of my comfort zone once a week just to get too my headspace appointments, i felt good when the lady asked me, she seems as though she is really struggling with how her daughter is and i'm more then happy to help, i'm hoping i wont of gone into a clinic by the date we will be seeing each other but if i am we will just have to rearrange it, but i felt a burst of energy after

Unfortunately, the "road to wellness" has many detours on it. Just remember though, they are just that, a detour along your road. It may take a little longer to reach your destination, but if you keep at it, you'll arrive at your destination...

It's difficult especially when though you can confide in people you don't want too because you never want to put them out but today i went, to the post office got a bunch of paperwork done, then my sister's boyfriend picked me and up and i drove to his parents house and we saw his dog whom is adorable and massive (i'm a learner driver still so it was massive seeing as i hadn't driven on proper roads before even a HIGHWAY!) now i'm just hanging out with my puppy (whom is actually not a puppy!)

Hi BBR,

when you say you dont want to go away anymore, are you referring to the clinic? It's normal to be scared, depression can show up whenever, so your moods will be up then down often. Do you seem to find the low mood kicks in when you're home and you don't have specific plans?

Opposite action can be useful, when your mood dips watch a comedy series, spend time walking your dog. Do things you dont necessarily feel like doing.

I know you're going through a really tough time, im so pleased that you've continued reaching out for support.

no i'm going away with my mum on monday, not too the clinic but on a holiday.. yeah when i'm home and don't have any plan is when it's the worst, I can go out places be complete fine then come home and just fall down, i don't have many friends in queensland, they are all in new south wales so it's hard
