About Me

Alright everyone, it's what I promised a few days ago, a little about me. First off, I'm foreign to a lot of you (From Canada), and probably a lot younger (22 year old male). I don't think either of those things will come between me getting to know all of you. So far the help has been incredible from people. I'd give shout outs, but I've had far to many people help me to remember.

Anyways, I've suffered from depression for as long as I can remember. It's been quite severe for the last few years now, as I realize that I'm supposed to be an adult, and able to take care of myself (Which I've been fairly unsuccessful at). I came to this site out of pure desperation (As I'm sure many here have done), and found it to be quite amazing. Unfortunately it's not always going to cater to my needs, but when people don't care about the popularity contest that goes on, they seem to genuinely care about one another.

Not really sure what I hope to get out of this site, but I hope to be a sounding board for other people. Feel free to write me messages if you need someone to talk to. I'll always give a heart felt reply. Hope to talk to you all eventually.

Hi Foresaken, and welcome to PC!

Glad to get to know a little more about you seeing as we may be seeing some more of you! I'm also from Canada (woohoo!) and am also on the younger age spectrum of things such as yourself! (In university)
I also suffer from depression as well as some other things ... but you are right when you said that this site is amazing .. it truly is, there are tons of caring and supportive people here!
Feel free to PM me if you ever want to chat/vent/whatever!

ps "Popularity countest" is not the way to freedom.

Hi Forsaken,

Sweetie, I do hope to get to know you. You sound like such a caring person.
I understand about the depression. I started having depression when I was 14. I'm 52 now. A lifetime of gloom and tears. Not wanting to live anymore. Not wanting to face anyone. Just want to disappear.Sleep all the time. Covers pulled up over my head.
These are just a few things that I have gone through. I understand how depression can bring you to your knees.
I wish you all the best.
I hope that you have gone to your doc and am on some sort of meds.
It isn't your fault. It is a chemical imbalance in your brain. There is nothing you can do about it. The meds will put the chemicals back the way they are suppose to be in your brain.
Wishing you a great day!
Hugs,
Boopers

Hi Forsaken!

Yay another Canadian!

I believe I've responded to one of your posts already, but I hope you have a decent day and I also hope to see you around the site.

Hi, forsaken, I agree about the meds. I had my first suicide attempt at 15 & finally got the right dx & meds when I was about 46! Don't wait as long as i did. DEMAND a better quality of life. Plus I would go to a specialist (psychiatrist). I was going to a GP all that time & they don't have the necessary knowledge & experience.--Suzy
