hi everyone

[peadda]

i'm pete from Cheshire. l live on my own in a nice area with my 2 kids and a good job. I really hope to chat and make friends on here as I feel I just can't be happy and don't know why

[Paula]

Hi Pete . It’s good to meet you. This is a friendly, warm, safe place to be and make friends. Have you talked to your doctor about how you feel?

[peadda]

thank you. yes but I don't want to go on tablets, I just avoid negative things like the news and certain people

[OldMike]

Hi Pete, is there any reason you don't want to go on tablets, there's also talking therapies which can help.

[Angie]

Hi Pete and welcome

[Paula]

Hunni, there’s several options which you doctor can talk to you about. You can’t easily access that help without seeing your doctor, I’m afraid

You don't necessarily have to use medication, but talking therapies etc are primarily accessed via your GP unless you can find somewhere you can self refer to..
