Im 19 and have suffered severe depression for yrs. Sometimes I'll start feeling better after treatment or just by chance and I'll be on top of the world thinking I'm better but then I'll have a relapse by which time I've stopped treatment and everyone thinks I'm fine.
I'm currently havin treatment (counselling and antidepressants) but I am feelin alot better and positive. I know I have alot to look forward to; im engaged and in a good job. Im worried that i'll relapse again though which i really dont want. More than anything i want the strength and positivity to be able to keep going and get through the bad patches.
I would be grateful for any support. This isnt something id normally ask ppl for.

Hi ShadowSkin,
The first I have to offer is that you're not alone in your chronic depression. It's amazing how many people are in your situation, but you would never know it...as most strangers who come across you have no idea what inner turmoil you suffer. Second, I would suggest a support group. You may have the support of family and friends, you may not. Whether or not you have that, they may not 'understand' what it is you're going through. HP is a great support group, you've already taken that step by posting here 🙂 A room full of warm bodies who have varying degrees of experience with your type of dylemma might help you even more.
I'm sending you healing love and hopeful prayers [sm=hug.gif]
With Love,
Gayle
