Depression Understood Forums

Hi everyone. New here and hoping it will help. I have an appointment with my doctor later this week, had a chat with him by phone yesterday and finally admitted Ive been suffering for the past 6 months at least and have had periods of depression since my teens. Usaully I have been able to get on with things but recently I cant and things dont seem to be getting any better so I realised I needed help. Dont know where to turn or what to do to be honest.
I have gradually reduced in confidence the past few years and my partner, son and I moved from my hometown last year. While they have both settled in well to our new town - I havent made any friends, I have a job I despise (there isnt many jobs to choose from) and my parents, who I'm close to and live nearby, are moving abroad in a couple months, I'm an only child and my son is their only Grandchild. Also we had issues with our relationship which is why we moved to make a fresh start and everything was fine, we got married a month ago, but I found out he had been having a relationship with another girl right up until the morning of the wedding (although he says it was innocent) after a year of showing me and proving he could be trusted. I feel totally alone and isolated and let down.
Just saying all this is helping tho I think.............................

Hi Kessy

I am pretty new here myself and have found this a very good place to be. Everyone is very supportive on the forums and the chatroom can be very helpful too. I'm glad you going to be getting counseling as it seems you are in a very lonely place. I understand how that feels. Hang in there, because there is hope and things can get better.

Hugs

awww kessy, hugs. you still get the last laugh tho; he will eventually break up with his boyfriend, while you will find someone that deserves you and your love. hugs
