New to the Depression Community in January 2018? Say Hello here! And get to know others who joined in January too!

Hello I am new the the discussion board. Been dealing with major depression since this last April after a nervous breakdown. Sill trying to figure out what depression is and how to deal wth it. I am very forgetful, have no feeling, don't find enjoyment in the things I used to, never feel comfortable or relaxed. At night I don't sleep without meds. I am suppose to get my first ECT treatment on Monday. Has anyone been through ECT before?

Can u help me with my dark and murderous mind(I haven

Hi

Hey guys, I'm Pixie, I've been over at the anxiety community and thought I'd join here, too. I've had depression since I was 14, I'm now about to turn 28, and it came on after dropping out of school early from bullying. I developed agoraphobia and couldn't leave the house, and naturally depression came with that. Everything went very... dark.

Both my depression and anxiety have been worse the last year, they started to debilitate me more in 2016. I'm quite shy and anxious on forums but I'll brave it!

hello everyone i'm new here ^^

Hello! I am new in the depression community. I just started my internship this week with 7 cups. I hope I can help a lot of people through this website. I studied psychology and now I am doing a master in counselling. When I finished my psychology degree I could not wait to start helping others. However, after moving overseas I developed a temporary depressed mood. I thought I would never be able to help someone if I was not even able to help myself, especially because I was trained in this area, so I was supposed to be able to handle the situation. Well, after one year and a half suffering, I finally started to use those techniques I learnt at the university. I still struggle with missing my family but I know I have improved so much, I do not cry all the time, I am going out with people, I am doing exercise, I am doing the internship, I am applying for a job, etc.... I think this experience made me understand more those who are feeling depressed, so it encouraged me to be here. I want to be ears for those does not have anyone to listen, I want to give my hand to another one or just to try to understand. Cheers guys. God bless you all.

Hi

Hello everyone,

I have joined the community today. I am unsure how it even works or even helps for that matter. Unfortunately, I have suffered depression in my life quite a bit. 2016 was the year which took the cake and the icing...as I suffered severe depression again. I now keep to myself, trust people less and hate socialising with anyone... I am here because I don't wish to take medicines again and don't wish to cry all the time because I feel alone in my battle. Thank you for reading... Cheers!
