Hi all,

I have been dealing with varies levels of depression all my life. I think it has disrupted my life in many different ways. Every person that says that they are there for you and are listening, sometimes are really against you. I have always been closed off, but I am tired of being that person. It’s time to open up a new door. Hopefully I can gain some help here and give some advice to others that need it.

Hi Knoxx, you’ve taken a good first step by coming here. I’m kind of the opposite where I have often shared too much in the past and have regretted it. There is a happy medium. Places like this are safe to seek out conversations with people who truly understand what you are going through. Hoping you’re feeling ok today and that you have a wonderful day.

Hello and Welcome Knoxx

How can we help you ?, Depression can be so personal to us and we need to be able to talk out our concerns with others

Have you talked to your Doctor, taking medications, or having talking therapy ?

No. This is really the first major step I’ve taken. Just wanted to start somewhere you know.
