Introduction - Hello Everyone

[Guest_498]

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 40 years of age, female. My interests include music (any genre), reading a great novel, watching comedy, Restuaranting, and learning new things. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Depression feels very lonely for me. I'd like to reach out for some support. Thank you.

Your family sounds beautiful - a supportive husband, and I bet your kids keep you busy as well! Yes, it is difficult to reach out, but at times it gets a bit too much. This is a great outlet.

Hi blueberry I’m 31 and I also love reading & listening to music

Hi mocha delight,

How are you? I hope you're enjoying your evening. Reading allows us to escape for a little while (if it's a good novel) and, music is just fantastic!! What kind of music are you into? I'm diverse, anything that takes my fancy.

[mocha delight]

I’m into all different styles of music and yeah I’m ok today considering I was not so ok Tuesday till yesterday. And how were you today?

Glad to hear that you are feeling better today. 🙂 I'm just feeling indifferent today. Last night and previous nights, I didn't feel too great - I cry a lot, especially at night. I'm not coping well with recent experiences that happened to me. I simply cannot detract my mind and separate my emotions from them. I went through trauma .. I'm in a lot of pain.

Well me feeling ok did not even last 24 hours as I learnt this morning a family member tried to take there own life and is now in icu & on a ventilator but going to be tried to take of it tomorrow but is hopefully going to be ok. Last night a friend I’ve known the longest had a mental break down and was told to go to the hospital today. And now after that news last night and the news this morning I’m not so ok & a bit fragile like a porcelain doll right now.

mocha delight, you are going through a lot right now. I hope your family member is now safe and your friend is feeling bit better today. You can be there for them when they need you, as I'm sure they're there for you too, but remember to also take care of yourself also.

Yes it does help thankyou so much....

Thank you xx

Thank for your reply blueberry and I think I’ll be ok eventually but after all that news the little bit of natural progress leading me to being ok was undone after the news this morning like the progress had never even happed at all. And I’ll think I should talk to my gp about my antidepressants and the prescription medication to help me sleep at night as I think both are not working so well any more plus make an appointment with the psychologist she recommended sooner rather then later. And how are you today blueberry?
