Depression

Well, I have suffered from depression/anxiety most of my adult life. I don't know why - I didn't have a particularly traumatic childhood or any one major event that made me this way. I have always lacked confidence and suffered anxiety with social situations and work. My depression comes, and goes. Sometimes it lasts longer than others, sometimes I can cope and other times I find it completely debilitating. At the moment I am really struggling with it. I think cos of stresses over the last few years I lost my Dad to a brain tumor and my Grandmother in a short space of time, had alot of stress with my partner who has a gambling addiction, and lost all confidence in my work as I felt bullied in my work place.

I get very lonely as I moved a few years ago and seem to have struggled to make friends since, and my partner is often out and not really understanding of my feelings. Really from this I would like to get a bit of support and chat to people who know how I feel. It would be really nice especially to chat to other females from the UK as I'm missing female friendship. Although of course I am happy to share with anybody if I feel we have a connection.
