Thanks everyone

I feel like the new girl at school! A bit nervous and not really sure what I'm doing!

I've suffered from depression since my early teens (I'm in my mid thirties now), but my T believes the depression is a way of blocking out past traumas that haven't been processed (trying to get my head round this). Don't know if this means that once they have been processed I'm less likely to suffer from depression?

Anyway, I had a bit of a breakdown at the beginning of this year and haven't worked since - I had my own business. It's been hard, I have 3 young children and my husband retrained to be a teacher but since passing the course has not found work. I feel tremendous guilt at not bringing in a wage and being an extra burden to my family. I am currently taking meds to control the depression and they help. Therapy is also helping but I am finding it a very painful process at the moment.

I really hope I can bring something to the PC community, let me know if I get anything wrong!
