Hi,
I've joined this group thanks to a UK study.. Already it feels like a good idea.
If you've seen my new members post, you'll see that my depression is strongly linked to having chronic pain and fatigue, and also to having three children, all of whom have different special needs.
I love my husband, and he's a big help, but is on the autistic spectrum and finds my moods difficult to follow and understand.

I am seeing a therapist who is really helping, but...

So the big daily challenge I have is caring. I manage to get the kids to school and back and feed them, but if it weren't for them, I'm not sure I would be able to get out of bed. It's almost as if I'm in a bubble - in the world but not?

During the summer holidays, I have found myself in survivor mode which is superficially better. I'm less depressed. But it's really just a sham - underneath is just not pretty.

I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you and hopefully finding some common ground with people.

B
