hello, my name is graham, i'm 27 ( well for another week ). I'm from Scotland but don't hold that against me. its fair to say my 20s have been dogged with a long and colorful battle with depression and various health issues.
Anyway i thought id come hear to meet new people ( people who understand ), talk about my troubles. share advice and offer my support to those who need it
I plan to write a blog and open up more but at the moment am struggling, too many deaths and i wont lie am not in a good place myself. and ive ran out of things to believe in. this blog could well be my last roll of the dice or even the start of something brighter.
anyway, that was long way of just saying hi am new to this wonderful site. hope to speak to you all soon.
Graham
hello, from me to you ( the reader)

Hi geezus84 and welcome to the forums. I am sorry to read that you are in a difficult place right now. Coping with loss is always painful and I am sure it makes all the others issues you face more difficult. Time does usually bring healing but I know that is no comfort at the moment. Keep posting and perhaps visit our chatroom. Chat is another resource at DU that allows communication and support for people. Take care, hugs
Hey geezus84 
Hang in there and keep talking....it really helps to let the pain from inside out. I'm happy you found this forum and as Lisa suggested, maybe you could find more support in the DU chatroom. There are many caring and supportive people that have been in the same place you are now and they are more than willing to share what helped them get through the "muck".
I came to the chatroom back in January when my sister passed away. I felt so cared about and was able to talk about my pain and grief. I still feel pain but it is nothing compared to what it was and I have also gotten to the point in my grieving to not dwell on hurting but to remember all the wonderful times we shared and appreciate that I had her with me for 50 years.
One positive thing I would like to share with you....you already did something positive and a day early
Please take care of yourself!!!

Tee lee, thanks for taking the time to read my post. I am very sorry for your lose. Its never easy but as you said it does get manage able. I've been on the chatroom room as Geezus, it helps thou there's times am bewildered by it and times I feel like am interupting someone with more important problems.
I'm going to try hang on a little longer. But what drove me to such a low point was when I reach within myself I couldn't find a reason to keep battling my issuses. But got a little of a posative break so, I'm hoping that pans out. But not out the woods and I does feel like the last roll of the dice.

Ps thanks for the hug.

Graham,
I do remember seeing you in the room now that you mentioned it. It definetly is overwhelming at times. If I might make a couple suggestions that might make it more comfortable for you, start by just following a few conversations. You might choose conversations where a chatter is using a color font scheme-they are easier to see. Also, if you find there's a chatter you have something in common with, ask to PM (private message). You may also change your font to a larger size and that will help slow the chat a little.
And as far as feeling that you are interrupting, please don't. You and your issues are as important as anyone else and sometimes are more so. I really hope to get to chat with you in the room
