Hey Ieris....thanks for the reply. You seem to have an abundance of wisdom Much appreciated.

Tmrw evening I'll be seeing a counselor for the first time to discuss things...who knows what will come of that but it's is free through work benefits...suppose it can't hurt, right?

Right you are....I guess sometimes I just do things that are a bit short term fun/long term damage, very knowingly. It's an escape, an adrenaline rush, whatever. I'm much better at taking the responsible route now than I used to be. I'm actually seeing a counselor tomorrow evening for the first time...

I used to have very bad anxiety in college as well - if you ask me, it's far worse than dealing with the everyday depression. Anyway, I'm really n...

Well, we all have our stories. This is mine thus far. I had a wonderful childhood with an older brother and two loving parents. They did, however, fight a lot. But we lived in a beautiful house in the country, with a dog, cat, abundance of food. It was pretty perfect. I suppose the environment was a...

Hey everyone! My first time being on a forum like this. I'm 25, I've been struggling with depression since I was 13...it's had it's ups and downs, good years and bad.
