Depression Understood Forums

Hi I am new to this site and in fact have never been in any forum. I have had depression issues since I was a child and life has been a roller coaster ride. I am now 56 and still living with it. I have finally found a good therapist but still feel lonely and need someone to talk to even though I realize that I often distance myself from others and then feel lonely. I guess I'm hoping to find others who feel similar feelings for whatever reason, perhaps so I don't feel so alone or different.

hey, i thought i would say hi and everyone is very supportive on here, i am sorry you are feeling this way.
know that some one cares.
take care

I can totally relate. Feeling the same way lately. Hopefully we will find some good support on the forums. First time for me doing this as well so I am hoping it will be a good experience....
