You've come to the right place there mino. There are a great number of really supportive people in the room. Most, have experienced almost everything you have gone through and unfortunately have a very well versed understanding of the pain you're going through.

Can I make a wee suggestion to get started? On the main pages you'll see a heading called "Archives" and also another header from depressed people's point of view. Scan through a couple of them. It will amaze you how haunting familiar much of your story is. Not to minimize what you're going though, every situation is unique, but it feels good that other partners can relate to what you're going through at this very moment.

And I know it hurts....like really hurts. But you're stronger than you think! And by learning about depression, coming to this site, and wanting to be part of the solution and not just look at the problem - well, you've started off on the right step.

This room is a god send for many of us here, and we're glad you've joined us.
