Hello,
I wanted to join because although I've been much better for about 8 years (I used to suffer from depression and self harmed, and pretty much dropped out of my life), recently I've really been struggling again. I don't have quite the support network that I used to- lots of colleagues and social friends- but nobody who knows how low I can get.I'm still at uni (although I'm in my 20s- it's a long course that I'm doing
) and I suddenly feel like I've lost my grip and don't seem to be able to get back on my feet and carry on again... Difficult to explain but I'm sure lots of people understand. Anyway, I just need to let it out- but have no way of doing that, and when I stumbled across the site I spent hours looking through it and crying in quite a refreshing way, because it reminded me that I'm not on my own. Never joined anything like this- I'm not even on facebook. So that's me really!
