    So I came on with the intent of posting on other threads but I just can't tell people to do things/don't do things when I can't do them myself!!

    Then talk to us here about what's going on. Not as a blog, but as friends, with people who know what you feel and will support you
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Sometimes just letting someone know they aren't alone is amazing. Really though, talk to us. Tell us about you, how are you feeling? What's your favourite colour/tv show/music etc?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Long time no update. I have still be blogging but I was aware I wasn't contributing to the forum and didn't want to push my welcome by being seen to just dropping a post and not returning. Things are much the same. Anyway if anyone wants a read my latest one it's here and the links to previous ones are on there.

    You're with friends here. We're not going to run away just because you're ill, I promise. We all know those feelings - losing friends, loneliness, hiding behind a mask - but giving into those feelings, hiding away is not the answer (though anyone here will tell you I did exactly that earlier on this year and it took a real kick up the backside from the amazing friends I've made here to get me to face real life).
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Wow. Professional footballers are the luckiest people on the planet. I would say more than actors, in terms of appeal, success and job. They are fit people, and i am not just talking about looks and figure i mean as health wise too. It goes to show you that depression really has no boundaries. Mental health assessments and tips can help anyone too. There is 2 sides to every coin i suppose.
