Dear Antman101~

I'd like to join Sophie_M in welcoming you here to the forum.

Trying to say how you feel is very difficult at the best of times, apart from the difficulties of dealing with strangers there is also the problem of putting things down in words -not always easy at all.

Often we cannot describe it, or simply talk about one thing leaving many out.

Your title says you are depressed, I'm not sure if you mean this is a fresh experience for you, or if you were saying posting here was.

I'm afraid (apart from a pic of an off-road bike -Yamaha?) I'm not sure of that much about you and while I can offer help it can only be general unless you would like to say more.

General help is OK as far as it goes but nearly as personal and effective as talking with someone and finding out what exactly are the problems. Helps to understand.

Is the basic Beyond Blue description of the illness and is pretty detailed, it even includes a basic test you can do to take to your doctor.

Sophie_M has given you a couple of good places you can contact by phone or web-chat if you start to feel bad.

I really would like it if you came back and said some more

Dear Antman,

Welcome to Beyond Blue and well done for reaching out.

I know that life can seem terribly overwhelming sometimes. Would you perhaps like to tell us a little more about yourself? Like maybe what brought you here to BB?

Without knowing much about you, it's hard to know how to help you, or what to say really.

Anyway, we're here for you. There's no pressure for you to tell us anything at all, really. Hopefully, even just these few responses will help you to know that you are not alone, and that we are here for you, and with you.

Take care and feel free to come back to this thread as much as you like.

I'll be thinking of you. xo
