I want to thank

I want to thank whoever posted the link to Douglas Bloch's videos on U-Tube. This man knows what it's like. I especially like the one where he talks about how he developed depression/anxiety and how he overcame it with social support.

I also discovered him a few days ago and have been listening to his video's on youtube. Its through him I discovered I probably have dysthymia and double depression along with my usual over the top anxiety. I never recognised I even had depression over the years on a low grade scale I just accepted it as part of the way I am until just over a week ago I suddenly felt a strange flatness (which is normal for me on a daily basis) on a late friday afternoon that night I sank into the most horrid black depression right through till monday morning. It really frightened me. After that, and listening to Douglas, I learned about my unknown depression! Keep on listening and keep on talking, he says it helps. Most of us are isolated due to anxiety and depression and have no humans to talk to and this place is a wonderful way to get things off your chest and out in the open surrounded by people who fully relate.
