Hi

Hi, your among fellow sufferers, so don't be shy we are all here to help each other and sometimes a chat can help. I'm just coming out of a bad bout of depression and I think I've done well again that I'm still here, yes it gets that bad. I also suffer from chronic back pain which after a few operations nothing more can be done and I've just got to get on with living the best way I can.

Have a look around the site and don't be shy, join in it's the best way to meet people on here with the same problems as yourself and be open and we discuss how and what we find helps us in the daily grind.

Take care, 

Stu.

Hi 

I'm new here , I have osteoarthritis in both knees and spine 

I have a lot of pain and would like to speak to others sufferers just for conversation and friendship instead of burdening family and friends with it ! 

Hi my name is Hazel, depression and alot of other rubbish going on in my life,

hows your day been? 

Hi Hazel

my day has been a little better than yesterday thankfully!

each day is a battle , some days worse than others , picking my grandchildren up oftern helps as they are of a very uplifting nature !

its important to have a purpose in life I think , it helps with depression  which goes hand in hand with arthritis , so you are not alone !

I hope you are feeling a little better today ? Chin up

I wish i said it was a better day but it was worse, but i see how and what tomorrow brings :)
