Hello Marissa
Well you certainly can't be accused of writing long posts. Welcome to Beyond Blue and thanks for writing in.
To be able to talk about more specific topics it would be great if you are able to tell us more about yourself. I am going to make some presumptions here and say you do not have much knowledge about depression. Is this correct? If so, as a starting point I suggest you explore the BB site. Start with the blue tabs at the top of the page, especially Resources and The Facts. There are heaps of topics for you to explore and a huge amount of information.
Depression is stressful and a very uncomfortable place to be. Those of us who are struggling in that place understand the difficulties of living a satisfied life. So if this is your situation would you write in again and tell us more about it please.
There are so many stories on this web site which describe all sorts of situations. I suggest you also explore the different forums and see if any of the threads resonate with you. You can join in any of these conversations. If you want to talk about a specific event or situation please get back to us.
Mary
