Hi, been depressed most of my life. Turning 51 in a few days and seems like things will never get better. Some days I feel great but it quickly turns to sadness with just a simple bad thought. I'm introverted and don't have many friends to talk with. Can't remember the last time I made a new friend that I can trust. Wife is supportive but she's extroverted and doesn't always understand. Hopefully can help myself and others on this site. Thanks for reading.

Hi ManUtd7,
Welcome to the group!
My birthday is next week and I am not too happy about it because it ends with a 0. So Happy early Birthday!
I think people who have never had depression have a hard time understanding how fast it can hit you and when. I think its fabulous that your wife is supportive of you.
I come on here when I feel sad, anxious or depressed and it makes me feel good if I can help any one. You’re in a great place here.
And post any time. 😁. If you want to chat I’m a night owl.
Take care. 😁
Welcome! I am new too. I am introverted also. I don’t have very many friends but I have a bunch of acquaintances. You are blessed to have a wife. I am sorry she doesn’t understand as well as you wish she did. I can relate to feeing like it’s never going to get better. I have a few mental illness diagnosis that I’m told I will always have I just have to learn to adapt to them. I’m sorry you feel depressed, i hope you can find something or things to help brighten your days and make the depression not quite so heavy and overbearing.
Hello and Welcome. I hope you find this group supportive and find some relief from your depression. I wish you peace.
Thanks.
