I joined here in 2012 and it’s the first time I had ever had peer support. It’s made a huge difference to me over the years and I hope we can do the same for you both

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.
Pfft, newbie.. I've been here since the beginning lol...
Seriously though, I love this place. Everyone is super friendly, no one judges and everyone is here because in some way our lives have been touched by mental health illness and in particular depression. This is a safe place...
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

Thanks Suzi, it's nice to be able to be somewhere where other people understand. I've been depressed for about 10 years with the past two seeing panic/anxiety attacks and I'm bored of people saying I need a holiday or go for a day out somewhere, if only it were that simple!

I'm quite good at discouraging that one, I tell people that I'd like to travel the world and see everything. I want to get my own home and have kids and enjoy life. People say 'well, why don't you go and do it then', luckily I've push away anyone close to me so it's only the occasional colleague at work that says it now.
Yes I think I'll be here quite regularly now. I'm looking at a new counselling service on Thursday after trying CBT but didn't actually get anywhere with it.
