Hey. I'm new to this website so I just wanted to post a blog so anyone reading my questions, answers or blogs knows a bit of background about me. I'm 16, bisexual, I live in Essex and have been attending Sixth Form for a few weeks. I've suffered from depression for pretty much all of my secondary school life and I've been suicidal for the past year and taken several overdoses. I've been on prozac (fluoxetine) in the past and am on lustral (sertraline) at the moment since prozac wasn't working for me. That's pretty much it, if anyone wants to message me any time if they're feeling particularly bad I'll do my best to listen and help if I can.

Hi, what a lovely blog! I think it's great that you've introduced yourself so honestly, it shows how much you trust despite your depression. I't's great the medications are helping. Good luck with your A'levels. Sue

How do!

Fluoxetine didn't work for me either, the Sertraline has made a lot of difference though.
