Hi. I hope everyone is doing okay. I'm glad I found this forum because I've had depression for a long time and its hard to discuss it with people who don't understand it...and friends can only take so much of it before they get bored with it.
I'm divorced with three kids and right now struggling to find a job (who isn't these days?). I'm really looking forward to gaining some new insight from these forums to help me deal with my depression.

Thank you! I'm glad I found a place where I can get peer support. At least I'll have some place to go when I need someone to talk to and to get encouragement.

Add a welcome from me to your list.
I have had depression for many years also, and find that even with friends I am close to, they can only take so much of being around me when I am depressed.
Talking has always been a big help when I am in that place where it seems like my depression has completely enveloped me, and my life. Here I post and know that there are people out there that not only read what I write, but also offer words of encouragement.
It is good just to unload with people that are in the same boat. I get help from people that make me realize that maybe, just maybe, tomorrow will be a better day.
Looking forward to getting to know you..
