have read a few posts and feeling a little overwhelmed right now...so many people...
Anyway, Im new to the group. Had depression all my life, been on Zoloft for 2 years and now wanting to go off it....dont know why..its just what I do...silly huh...only been on meds for 6 years on and off. Feeling happy is such a new feeling to me....no one much understands that.
Its like a happy person suddenly feels depressed and cant cope...Well feeling depressed and psychotic for me is normal, so going on antidepressants was a big shock for me...anyway Im rambling on...sorry

Rambling is fine. Don't apologise. It's ok to feel a bit overwhelmed but you're in good company here. Lots of understanding people.

Hi Jules I'm new to this too. Was having a bad night climbing up walls and sleeping pills are having no effect so I decided to find one of these things to join. I remember that feeling. I hated losing my depression the first time, I thought I was losing who I was. Life got better for a while but now I'm going back on as I stopped sleeping, eating and lost all my energy. It is so good to talk about it with people who understand. Some days I just feel like a freak and want to cry, I hate being different, but there are so many of us out there that we can support each other huh :) Welcome. I'm feeling better already from all this replying to people. My anxiety is calming. I might even sleep sometime soon.

Hi...and Thanks.
I find it really hard to post because of feelings of being judged...so you probably wont hear much from me...I just feel I dont belong anywhere. Oh well...will try.
