Hi all, I am so sorry I have not been here to support you.

Early last year I became very low and extremely anxious. I was diagnosed with depressive disorder, and prescribed antidepressants. I was very reluctant to go on them, but they have definately helped me get out of that black hole.

Although I am in a flare (despite having 2 stelera doses), missing my other half (works away so cant come home on weekends off thanks to covid) I am determined to stay positive.

Stay safe everyone, and remember to look after your mental health as well as your bums xxx
