Hi Pippa, welcome to the site. There are lots of lovely people on here that you can chat with. If you've done the questionnaire on NHS online and got that result then the next step should be your doctor to see what help they can provide. Sometimes that's an anti depressant and others talking therapies such as counselling or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (a more active form of counselling ) . Best wishes xx

I know how awful it feels as I have lived with depression for most of my adult life. With help and good advice-medication if necessary and finding local support groups. Once you visit your gp you can ask to see a CPN who can suggest local groups.

I was so bad 4 years ago that I didn't want to waken up, and spent most of my days in bed. Now however with help and advice, I feel good most days, and able to cope with unfortunate circumstances much better.

Try to keep positive and remember there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Good luck
