Hi Rachel,

Welcome to the forum.

We can offer tips for coping, links to resources for information and of course just be here for you to talk to. You can share as much or as little as you feel like doing. You might have a question. Someone will get back to you reasonably quickly.

Please bear in mind we are not mental health professionals .

We are all experts in own depression through a lived experience and have much to contribute.

I'm sorry I haven't been on...... Could barely pick up my phone to text my fiancée back while he was at work let alone get online. My depression has been real bad lately and the suicidal thoughts just keep getting worse and I just don't know how much more I can handle. My depression has been keeping me awake until my body gives out....... I'm not sure I can take this much longer......
