Hi, I just joined today.

I've been battling with depression for the last 10 years. Thought I had it under control for the last few, but lost my job about 6 months ago and I seem to have fallen into the hole again.

Went to first appointment with a psychologist today. Got a good vibe from him and think he can help. Only it's stirred up a lot of memories that I haven't visited for a while.

Any advice on how to calm down your mind when you start over thinking and over analysing?

Anyway hello all and thanks for listening/reading.

Hi Jen, I know how awful it is for the landlord to evict you after 9 years because that's exactly what happened to me in my house, it was annoying as I had to pack up everything including my shed, clean to make sure the bond money was returned.

I also had a difficult time for a couple of weeks, because to move into a new place is anxious, all addresses had to be changed, so I feel for you.

Please let us know how you are going.

Geoff.

Hi Jen, I'm sorry Jen, I know that you're in a hospital, and all of this must be such a worry, but having these wonderful nurses helping you means so much for your recovery.

The joy and love you send to us all is a sign of your warm and very kind personality, that's how you are, and to be like this is such a beautiful quality you possess, that's the bottom line that will never go away.

Geoff.

Hi Everyone,

I'm finally out of hospital....yay.

Currently staying at a halfway house for a couple of weeks. Things are getting better, starting to feel more positive.

I got to see my psychologist yesterday, it was a challenging session to say the least, but I think it was good.

Thanks to you all for helping to get me through the dark days. Starting to see glimpses of that rainbow after the storm.

As always wishing you all strength and love on your journeys.

Jen
