My story

[ChunkyTom]

Hi there,
I am a first time poster in any forum and I thought I would lose that virginity here for a cause worth while. Over the course of today I have written down my story and my journey through depression. Unfortunately its a bit lengthy (6000+ words) so I can't post it on the forum. Is there another way I can share my story?

Hello Tom

Welcome and good on you for being a part of the forums too!

If Beyond Blue didnt have first time posters the forums wouldnt exist.....I posted after being made redundant in 2016 and it was difficult for me as I had no idea of how the forums worked

The forums are a safe and judgement free place for you to post Tom. We only have a character limit so members can help support you more effectively reading under the current character limit if thats okay 🙂

I used to have chronic anxiety for a while followed by diagnosed depression and I was in a dark place and still trying to recover. You are more than welcome to share what is on your mind...We are good listeners and you are more than welcome to post

my kind thoughts

Thanks for getting back to me.

Sorry to hear about your battles. Hope you're on the right track now.

I'm just not sure how to best post it with character restrictions. I was thinking maybe in parts? Its a self reflection of my life so far and it was quite liberating writing it.
