Depression Understood Forums

I'm new on here.

I have been struggling lately with depression. I have been since I was 10, and I'm 22 now, but I'm in a bit of a corner lately and feel helpless and overwhelmed.

I have gotten professional help and what not and am currently still getting help. I am not using this website as a replacement. I have read in a number of articles that speaking with others on forums can be very helpful, so I thought I would give it a try.

Hey helenmf,

Welcome to the forum

It's really great that you are getting the help you need. I hope that is still going well for you. Forums are a great place to vent and meet others that can relate so I agree they can be very helpful. I'm glad you're here and hope to see you around.
