dear Ems, thanks for coming back to us, as it is very important for when you need to talk with people who have/also struggling with their own depression.
Being unable to take the first move again is always not easy, especially if you have had trouble connecting with anyone before.
When issues from the past keep appearing again and again, then this is a time to seek help, because we can't put a lid on these problems without the need for assistance, and there's nothing wrong in doing so, it doesn't make you, me or anybody else to feel as though it's because we are weak, but then when you look at depression it does make us tenable and open to negative thoughts, so these re-occurring flashbacks need to be sorted out.
There are a couple of places to get this help, firstly is by clicking under 'get support' where there is a list of professionals in your area in which you can contact, or alternatively how do you feel about calling the web chat and the phone number is again at the top of this page.
You won't be able to squash these problems on your own, because we tend to ignore the main features, because as soon as we recall them it's too distressing for us to tackle, so we tend to partly ignore them and then go on to the next problem, but we can't really oversee any of these problems, because they keep coming back, so we need help.
I hope that you can get back to us, because there are many wonderful people who can also help you. Geoff.
