I have suffered from depression since my 30s now in my 60s. At times it was so bad I wanted to end my life.I did not have the courage to do it, and I am so glad I didn't for I have had two grandchildren and a good life. At present I am suffering from a deep depression, I can't believe at this moment it will go. I Would doalmost anything to get ride.of it. But I wont kill myself, I know with time it.will pass. When your in it its hard to believe, but hang on in there there will be days of joy again. Ian

There is little I can add other than, do hang in there because the day will come when that black cloud will lift and there will be sunshine (some of the time) underneath it.

You are right when we are in really deep low we think it will never go away. You and I are fighters. We both know that with time the bad down will go and there willbe light again. It is a matter of riding out the low times.
I suppose because you and I have had depression for so long we understand it more, but it must be very frightening for the young people who are experiencing it for the first time.
I do hope you begin to feel better soon. I know exactly how you are feeling.
I took an overdose once and I can remember the look on my daughter's face, the tears streaming, and I had a new grandchild then. That grandchild is 23 years old now and I have three others. They are worth living for. My dear granddaughter who is 21 saw me in a very tearful and distressed state at Christmas, and she was lovely to me. First time she has seen me like that. I don't want my family to worry about me.
Take care and I am thinking of you. I am not too bad today.
