I've been reading some posts on here today and all I can think is ...is this a life sentance then? I've been depressed before and always come out of it but some of you have been depressed for 20-30 years. Why is it that for example someone like me has had depression on and off a few times over a number of years ( 11 ish years ) and some of you have had it constantly? Well, I salute you. The only thing that is getting me through right now is that I have been here before and survived it so I know I can again. If I ad this feeling for 20 odd years, well I wouldnt even like to say what I would do about it.

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...
It's a bit like the question "why do I have depression?" there just isn't one simple answer.
I dont even know if it'll help me but its worth a try. I think the waiting list is about 6 weeks here.
