    • About Me

      Thought i'd update this as been on here for a while now. Well i'm 23, not sure how long i have been suffering with depression but it has only been the last 18mths or so that i have acknowledged it and been receiving help. Some days are better than others, just find it is easier to deal with the cards you are dealt that day as who kmows what is going to happen tomorrow, today is even unpredictable. On the path of changing things for the better, began a part time college course in the summer studying beauty therapy and so far so good all going well, next step is finding a new job as the current 1 isnt for me anymore and i it's killing the person inside of me.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I never felt i could open up to any1 about what i was going thru/feeling in fear of being judged. I have opened up recently and part of my judgement was right but people have been more supportive than i expected apart from 1 person who has been there for me and has now had enough and basically fcuked me and our friendship off!

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I tend now to take one day at a time, then i'm not setting myself up for a fall and i find it easier to get through each day as less chance of disappointment etc
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      At 1st i was unsure about going to councelling sessions as i didn't see how sitting in a room with a stranger for an hr talking about my probs and personal things but it is the best thing i ever did
    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Relative

      My Grandma passed away suddenly November 2006 to whom i was close and due to the depression i found dealing with this loss harder than if my mind were working properly!

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked

    • Open Anxiety

      I think my anxiety and paranoia began around the time of my depression as i have been told 1 seems to trigger the other! It has got so bad that it has serverly changed relationships and friendships for the worst.

      Treatments

      Celexa Working / Worked
      I am happy to say these meds really worked and i am no longer taking them, although i wouldn't think twice if i needed to go back on them as i don't want to go back to what i have just been through. The 1st lot of meds i was prescribed made my depression and anxiety worse but citalepram really worked for me

    • Open Loneliness

      I can be in a room full of people and still feel like i am the only 1 there. I have recently starting feeling more lonely in my work situation and have recently been signed off on sick as it has all become too much for me to bare.
