Depression

Hi Michelle I've had depression for 25 yrs , I know how low this condition gets you I've seen counselors and psychiatrists which like you I found didn't help. So I decided to go to university to find out about my conditions through psychology and it's helped me understand the feeling I go through and to stop getting as low as I did now I love life I still get the low feelings now and again but I understand my conditions now , maybe you could take a psychology course to help you just a thought

@Pauline Davies I've never thought about that and it is a great idea! Get the info by myself and learn to know what is happening to me. I think it is great advice and I'll try to look for some courses.

@MichBrad I assure you that with time it will get better, you just have to hang in there

Hi Michelle glad to hear that, I found out about depression and how it can get you feeling really bad and u think your alone etc it does really help , and now I've got a new life I'm training to help others as a support worker for the mental health issues before I hated myself now I don't before I felt I couldn't do anything right now I can if u gan get on a course Michelle it will turn your life around instead of feeling worthless u get your confidence and self esteem back while educating your self about your illness I'm plessed your going to try it because depression is very hard to live with , well done 

Hey Michelle :) I'm 18 and I seem fine to everyone every day but then just feel down when I'm on my own.. It's awful isn't it? I wish I knew how to stop the feeling... It won't last forever will it?

It won't last forever no, everyone has good and bad days and I know yo probably feel everyday is bad but honestly it's not 

Hello again @OriginalUsername I feel like you, I put my happiness in being surrounded by people and I my shrink always says I have to learn to be happy by myself, but I just haven't learned, I wonder if I need to do a Eat, Pray, Love thing to achieve it lol
