Hiya. I'm new to this and from the UK. I have no idea if this will help me but hey.. gota do something. I've always felt miserable in the winter and been diagnosed with depression twice in my life ( im 37 now ) both during the winter months but this time is different. I have no idea why but I have this overwhelming fear that I am going to die. Not suddenly, but from an ongoing disease or something and the majoruty of the time, it's all I can think about. I'm constantly miserable which is affecting my relationship but I can't snap out of it.I am also at the point where I feel that I want space away from my partner as I feel suffocated by him at the moment but know I will hurt his feelings if I say this to him. There is so much more to it but I am sick of feeling so low. Surely there is more to life than these ups and downs? I have no friends where I live as I moved away over a year ago due to circumstances beyond my control so I can't talk to anyone. I feel lonely but at the same time, want time on my own away from my partner who is lovely and dosnt deserve this but I just don't know how to snap out of it. I don't want to go on tablets... just want normality back. :(

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Toocool... not knowing anyone is horrible isnt it. I have always had lots of friends but where I live now, the people are really unfriendly. Although i was born in Wales, I was bought up in london and so I have a London accent which stands out here and so people assume I am a Londoner and its very hard to fit in, something I have never come across before.
