How old are your children? Are you a single mum? Are you seeing a doctor? Do you have anyone close that you can be with when you feel miserable? Sorry I only have questions.

My children are 11; 14; 16.Yes im seeing a doctor from the mental heath team ive been under since august last year. Its been a long road lots and lots of ups and downs but im still hanging in.I do have a good family that supports me but it is very frustrating sometimes as they dont fully understand what I go through. I get so frustrated with myself because I cant lead a normal life yet id love to be able to get back into work and have a soical life but at the moment I woudnt handle it.

I use to suffer from depression. Meeting my husband changed me. Not overnight though. You have to learn to love yourself. That is what I did. I always felt so alone even if I was surrounded by people. I always felt different and thought that no-one understood me. Now I am not too fussed what people think of me. I know I am a good mother & wife and that is all that matters to me these days.

Have you tried alternative doctors like naturopaths. Change of diet and exercise always makes a person feel great.

I probably haven't helped you at all but remember you are not alone!
