ok, i have been quite low these last few weeks, the depression hit again, i have been to a counceller ( who couoldn't help as i only get 5 free sessions with her)and my doctor and am being refered to a cpn ( mental health nurse). my prob is that so much has happeded in my life and i know that i am going to have to go through it all so i can deal with it. its really going to hurt, there are things i have buried for a lot of years and im am going to have to face them. i don't know if i can do it, im scared, i wish i could tell you but i can't. my partner said if i asked women to name the 10 most awful things that could happen to them i would have gone through most of them.
any advice would be appricated

If you have survived these awful things, you ARE strong enough to face the demons. It will be hard and scary, but in the end you'll be a better person. Good luck, and take care.

It's ok if you don't want to talk bout them,bet a lot of us have had at least one of them so you will find people who understand,sounds like you've had it rough : ( from experience,counselling is cool to face things with but it's therapy,changing the way you think about things that made me feel better.Counselling made me wallow in it all,but then I accepted what happened and wallowed in it for years so didn't need to do that anymore.Maybe counselling is what you need to start with to help you accept what happened.So many talking therapies available,look into them online and see which suit you.Hugs and love xxx

i have to say that you are a survivor coz you're still here fighting! keep going! going over things from the past is never easy and speaking from personal experience i found it very hard and i actually went into a deeper depressive state BUT, it has also helped me realise why i am the way i am what i need to change and i have found it beneficial in the long term as im sure you will too! good luck x

Your a tough cookie and what they say is true. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You'll beat your demons coz the alternative is to give up and it's obviously not in your nature.

nice choice of bike BTW :)

I think I can relate as I have been thru about everything imaginable in the past 2 yrs myself. People tell me I am strong for what I have went thru but it's hard to believe ...I tell them I had no choice! So I know it's hard, but I'm here should you need to talk. Hugs to you, friend.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
