      Yes I have all the symptoms of depression unfortunately. I agree with the prevention methods. I love being around positive and caring people but I think do they like being around me. Although I like to think that I am a caring person I have become so negative of  late . I blame that on the depression and I just want it to lift! xx

      Caroll thanks for your postive post I agree with everything you have said regarding Depression BUT and its a big one.

      Suppose your agrophobia or  a Social phobia?

      If It was Was so easy to overcome Depression Do you think We would be here holding this debate?

      We all have our mountains to climb and some of us are recovering from Depression quicker than others.

      You seem to have your house In  Order and believe Thats impressive but not everyone can be like you

      Take Care

      Yes we know all that.  I myself have had depression for over 20 years.  I have read lots and lots on depression, as you obviously have.  Well I walk a lot.  Not always easy to get good sleep.  Some of us have health problems so cannot exercise much.  I have done all you mention.  But not that easy unfortunately.  But I will battle on.  Thanks for your input.  Hope it has helped you with your depression.  Has it?

      I did mean to sound critical to positive Input by Carroll. If It came Over that way I apologise..

      I have Just faced hurdle after hurdle mental health wise even More so the past few years after a serious assault.

      I work for myself so not working is not an Option for me.

      I hear the mantra of the A to Z guide to Good mental health and used to take It to heart if  I didnt feel like things were changing quick enough.

      My mantra is your best is Good. enough xx

      Hey there I understand.  Please don't think I was in any way criticising anyone.

      I have had depression for over 20 years and it has affected me in many ways.  Lost job, house, relationships.  Taken overdose, been in psychiatric hospital.  Hard for us all.  We battle on.  I admire everyone here believe me, all strong people determined to fight.  Well done you and everyone. 

      Bless you.

    I think we all want to beat it and we all find different ways to snap out of it and carry on with the next day. I read that your family arent touchy feely and that can be hard as you dont feel you can confide in anyone.

    You need the ability to talk to someone, even if it someone here onlien daily. Over 18month ago my depression started and my ex wife was far from helpful in fact to the point of wishing I was dead, which resulted in us getting a divorced and me moving on.

    Depression has been a horriffic things for me and whilst I under stand it can be harder for other people who are supposed to care for you too, it menas you have to confide in strangers, that in turn become your pillars.
