Saying Hi

[Durras]

Hi everyone, I just joined so pretty nervous actually with what to say.

I've been suffering depression for awhile but noticed I really needed help on Monday when I had a few too many drinks and a box of blood pressure tablets in my hand and then burst ted into tears. I went to the doctors the same day and got myself on medication.

Yesterday bought a book online called Managing your Depression with Mindfulness for Dummies (hope that arrives soon)

I decided today to find myself an online group and here I am, I've also contacted a support group GROW near to where I live.

I would love to be off support to help others I'm not here all for myself thou naturally I look forward to receiving support from others and getting to chat with people as well.

Thanks

Durras

Hi Durras,

Firstly welcome, I'm so glad that you have found your way to these forums.  And secondly, what a good thing you are doing in coming onto here with your first thoughts being that you want to help others.  With your fantastic attitude I feel sure that you will be able to provide support and ideas to others and, in so doing, gain confidence and reassurance for yourself as well.  Very much a give and take situation, with is perfect.

I look forward to reading more of your posts.

dear Durras, great for you to join the site, because anyone new is certainly a bonus to all of us, sharing and giving advice, suggestions and help is always welcome.

You put yourself in such a dangerous situation, and even while you were intoxicated, but there must have been such a strong opposition to your intent, so good on you. Geoff.
