Welcome Richard to the community. This is a wonderfully supportive community full of people with a variety of mental health struggles open to sharing their experiences and encouraging others along their own paths.

I lived in undiagnosed depression until I was 44 years old, will be 63 in July. My outlook was dismal, I had little or no self-esteem and very little support from my family. I had to find and build a community of support for myself.

Are your family and friends understanding and supportive to you?

How have you been managing all these years?

I have just struggled . With it .but it has ruined my life

But what about the quality of your life?

One is able to recover, it sounds like you have just allowed yourself to be swallowed by it. That is so sad.

What if anything have you done for yourself? Have you a counselor or therapist?

What interests do you have?

Hi there!!

Lovely to speak to you today!

Why don't you tell us a wee bit about yourself. Hobbies, anything you like to do, are you working at the moment?

This is a good place to be when you are feeling a bit low. There will always be someone on here who has probably either been in your shoes or are going through similar at the minute. Its good to share experiences and know that you are not on your own.

Look forward to hearing more from you!
