    Hi Lucy fighting your own mind is a genuine struggle and takes a lot of strength as it is a hidden battle which those who don't suffer don't understand. Your father committing suicide when you were 19 must've been very traumatic, have you had any counseling to get over that?
    77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

    Hi and welcome to DWD. The others are right, it's gentle encouragement, until it becomes nagging and an ear worm every day. Everything that happens to you is important and relevant to you and your life. Never underestimate the effect that anything can have on you. For me it's always little things. These build up and up until I go into complete meltdown. It's never anything big.
    Again you are very welcome to our community and we look forward to getting to know you.

    Thank you, lovely, for making that appointment
    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.

    Yes! Suzi, I indulged in buying a new journal so that's a great suggestion. I also reached out to an old friend today just to say I lived her and was proud of her. She told me she was looking after a friend with depression and that helped open up a conversation.
    It was a really tough day at work, but just having these little prompts from you guys - just wonderful, understanding strangers, has given me a kick up the butt to start helping myself and I appreciate it immensely.
