Hi There

[Tri71Cr]

Hi all.  Hope everyone is managing okay today.

Just introducing myself...  I have had depression for as long as I can remember and was diagnosed with other mental health conditions such as Borderline Personality Disorder and Anxiety.  My Father was a Vietnam Veteran and Mum was an Army Nurse, although she never went overseas.

I don't know what else to tell you.  What has bought me here is my recent decline in my mental health and prioritising it, when for so long I have not made it a priority.

Great to hear from you. Welcome! I found this forum to be beneficial, as it normalizes many mental health issues, such as depression. I hope you have a supportive network around, talking therapy and medical treatment.

Hello Tri71Cr,

Warm welcome to the forums. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your mental health challenges. You have come to a very safe and supportive place. It's great to hear that your parents were serving for the country.

If I may ask and if you feel like sharing, did anything specific happen to trigger your mental health recently?

Very happy to hear that you want to prioritise your mental health. Recognizing that mental health is as important as physical health is the first step towards healing and getting better.

You are not alone in this, we are all here to support you. Hope you have spoken to your GP or a professional who can guide you to get the right treatment.

I am happy to listen and support if you feel like talking more...

Take care

Happylife
