    Hi Curry, we are here to listen, feel free to post as much and as little as you want, have you spoken to your doctor as that is usually a good place to start. There is medication and various talking therapies which only become available by seeing your GP. You certainly wouldn't be wasting the time of professionals and it could be the start of a journey to your recovery.

    Hi and welcome. I promise you that you won’t be wasting anyone’s time. Have you talked to your doctor about how you’re feeling? Why do you think your family won’t take you seriously?

    If you would like tips on how to talk to your family, the Time to Change website can be very helpful https://www.time-to-change.org.uk
    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.

    I agree with the others, you aren't wasting anyone's time. How you feel is important.

    Welcome. You’ve made a good start by joining this group. The support and advice I’ve received here has been really helpful and I’m sure you will find the same. I found talking a great way of starting to address my depression and I’d encourage you to try to speak to someone if you can. I spoke to my doctor and she pointed me in the right direction for specialised help.

    Good luck and remember we’re here for you so keep in touch.

    Drew.
