Depression Understood Forums

Hi everyone.

I've been snooping around this site a little bit and even responded to a thread, so I thought I should introduce myself.

I am in my early 40s, and a few years ago something happened that forced me to start dealing with my mental health, my past.

I am diagnosed with major depression, c-PTSD, and sever dissociation, a combination that, for the most part, makes life "interesting" most days.

I am now just accepting those diagnoses and really trying to commit to getting healthy again. On a good day, I can have a day that resembles the life of others who don't struggle with depression. On a bad day, I isolate and do foolish things - like cancel all of my therapy appointments. Trying to stop the isolating behaviour.

So I'm here to try and learn as much as I can, and maybe feel a little less abnormal by seeing that others can understand some of the things that I feel.

I look forward to meeting everyone.
