    Hi Otis and welcome! As Stella says, have a nosy round the place, we’re super friendly and would love to get to know 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.

    Hi and welcome to Dwd

    Hi and welcome! Have a look around, see if there's something that catches your eye - or you can tell us something about why you are here or what things you like?
    Are you eating and drinking properly? Getting any exercise? Do you like cats or dogs?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Hi thanks for the replies. I’m mainly here because of depression and PTSD, well mainly depression since this is a depression forum. I’m eating more than I used to because I used to forget to eat because of my ritalin that makes me not feel hungry much but I’ve made an effort to eat more the past few months. I like exercise but I can’t exercise like everyone else because I have a muscular disease which means I can’t break down glycogen in my muscle cells for fuel during exercise so if I carry on exercising then I end up with rhabdomyolysis which has damaged one of my kidneys and it can cause them to fail if I’m not careful.

    I like dogs yes, I have a yellow Labrador called Chief.

    And things I like are watching Harry Potter, Star Trek, Peaky Blinders, Grace and Frankie. I also like listening to music of all kinds. I’m a Anaheim Ducks ice hockey fan, so if anyone remembers the Mighty Ducks movies from the 90s then that’s when the Anaheim Ducks were created as an official team. Obviously with real adults playing, not the kids in the movies playing. I also like Warhammer.

    Oh also I feel a bit stupid coming here in a way because I have a BSc in Psychology and I finish my MSc in Psychology later in the year and some people think I should have all the answers to my own depression and PTSD when I don’t.

    Hi and welcome. What part of the world are you in? Does your doctor know how you are feeling?

    You aren't stupid coming here at all. Having all the knowledge doesn't mean that you don't get ill and it seems like you are going through so much with your other conditions too... But with your tv likes you're going to fit in here really well x
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Hi I’m in Bromsgrove, Worcs. And yes my GP knows because I’m on two lots of anti depressants. And thanks Suzi. I just thought people here would think I should have all the answers to my own depression and PTSD
