Hi there Neil Phillip,
Welcome and thank you for starting to share your story. There is so much to read here and plenty of room to share experience too. There are plenty of good people on this forum who are in your corner when you post here. I look forward to hearing more of your story as time goes on.
Rob.

The trouble with having any type of depression is that it can go away for a period of time, but it still brews away and can come back to us at any time, when this may happen we don't know, it could be gradual or it could be suddenly.
I know that they have safety precautions when working on a roof, but still I hope that you that care of yourself. Geoff.

Hi there Neil
And welcome to Beyond Blue as well.
Thank you for providing your initial post and it’s great that you responded back to as well. Always great to hear back from good folk who’ve posted here.
What you could also perhaps do is to start up your own thread in one of the select forums – like with the Depression or the Anxiety areas.
Those sound like some unfortunate side effects with the sweating that you have to deal with … and I guess with it being summer and hot, that doesn’t help much at all. Probably just makes it flare up even more so … though as I write this, we’ve now ticked over to autumn, but the outside temperatures don’t quite know that as yet, as we’re still getting some good heat happening.
That does sound awesome about your small support network that you have – that can be an amazing source of help for us if we have, as you’ve suggested, even just a few people who are on side with us. Sure we don’t need them all the time, but sometimes knowing that we have them there is a big help and then at times, we may be able to call on them as well.
As you’ve said, writing things down can be helpful – kind of therapeutic … I know this personally and I’ve come across a lot of others on this site who have said the same thing.
Hope to see your name around the traps a lot more, cause it’s a bloody excellent name. J
Cheers
Neil
