Hi Leigh,

Wellcome to our forums!

We are all a lovely bunch on this forum please feel you can chat to us about anything 😊

Hello Leigh, can we offer you a warm welcome?

When new people join the site they're never sure where to begin only because they may be hesitant, unsure of what type of reaction they'll receive from those on the site, but all of us have gone through our own type of depression and struggled ourselves for a period of time and suffered the consequences, so we definitely feel the sorrow that you're trying to cope with, so I hope this can make you feel slightly comfortable.

Take your time and start slowly until we can make you feel confident in talking to us and know that this can't just suddenly happen, as there must be much on your mind so easing into it may help you.

Best wishes.

Geoff.

Hi Geoff, I hope you are keeping well I wanted to thankyou for kind words and making me feel welcome I appreciate it. It is so nice after all this time where I've felt so alone to finally be able to relate to people who gets it and understands. I don't have that support. But starting slowly sounds like a really good idea. Thanks Geoff stay well.
