Hello all,

This is my first post on this forum, but I have been reading threads here for quite some time and think I need to try and participate. I have struggled with depression and anxiety issues since I was 18 (I am now 33). I seem to go through cycles where I have very few symptoms for months, but always seem to crash again into deep bouts of depression for months. This most recent "crash" began about 3 weeks ago. I live far from family and am have very few close friends in my current location. Work has been very stressful, and I also met someone romantically who I became very emotionally close to. Suffice it to say that she did not feel the same. Along with my already worsening mood, these two situational issues contributed to me leaving my job (temporarily) and flying cross-country to try to get things back together. Anyway, most of this is me just venting. My mood is very low right now and I would like to hear from others, as well as be there for people who may need some encouragement. This seems to be a good and safe place to talk and communicate about common depression issues. Thank you all!

-Ben
