from the newbie :)
Hey,
I've had depression for the past 3 years, I started when i was 17 and it's got progressively worse every time it comes back. I started self-harming, through banging my head against walls to try and release the anger I felt inside, but recently I've tried stop doing that and have started scratching my arms until they are red raw. The other week I went to the doctors who have referred me to a specialist for depression and social anxiety.
No-one I know seems to understand my depression and a few have told me "everyone has hard times, just get over it" which obvious makes me feel weak and pathetic.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, if you want to know anything else or to talk, then send a message or something

I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
You didn't come this far just to come this far.

Hi Sam.
Welcome to RYL! I hope you find the support you need here. I know how hard it can be when you need people to talk to but they don't understand. That's one of the reasons why RYL is so great- everyone is really friendly and supportive and mostly going through the same sort of things.
Feel free to PM me if you need any help finding your way around or if you just want a chat.
Hope to see you around the boards xx

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you wish to make.
