Depression Understood Forums

Hello,

I'm Ste from Lancashire. I'm currently suffering from anxiety and depression and have decided that a good way of trying to break free from this hollow empty feeling is to help others.
I am here to try and say encouraging things to others to do some good and be a better person.
I am 27 and have a beautiful fiance and a son from a previous relationship who I adore. I don't get to see him too often anymore due to him moving away and this has contributed amongst other things.
I have good friends, a great family and I feel bad for feeling like this, which in turn makes me worse.
I have taken to sleeping during the day just so I don't have to be awake to feel it.
I hope to be a help to others and turn my own life around also.

Hi Ste, and welcome to the forum. I am sorry to read that you feel so poorly and must resort to sleep during the day. Are you getting any professional help for the depression/anxiety?

You might want to check out the chat room here at DU as well. Chat is another resource that allows people to share information and give/receive support.

We look forward to hearing more from you and thank you for wanting to listen and offer support to others. Hugs
