Just joined. -My story.-

[Venefica]

I'm a 23 year old female. I've suffered from depression for as long as I can remember. My best friend died recently, and September/October were pretty hard months for me. Since her loss, my depression has gotten steadily worse. I have no one to talk to, I'm going out of my mind. Lately, I've just been in a depressive fog all the time. I'm sleeping 12 - 15 hours a night, and still exhausted through the day.

I would really like to find someone to understand me, someone that I can talk to.

Venefica,

Just want to add my welcome.

Like crystal said. You have overcome a big hurdle, by trying to get help.

I lived in a small town, where I tried to hide my mental illness for too many years. So know what it is like to feel alone.

Hoping that you will continue visiting this site and looking at some of the other threads. We are all in the same boat and are willing to share our tips on dealing with depression, that might helps others.

Take care
