Hi there, i thought id just start off by writin abit bout me, thought it would be easier heh
It really started back in 2001 where i suddenly begin having panic attacks which lasted for about a year, thankgod they've never returned since, but unfortunatly that was when the depression really kicked in, it developed over a 3 years period really, early 2004 both my grandparents died within a month of eachother i was with a guy who really didnt consider my feelings and messed me about and broke up with it me and my dad was sufferin with depression and alcohol addiction, (this all happened bout the same time) soon after i was signed off work and put on anit-depressants cos i just couldnt cope with it.
Then in early 2005 i moved to notts with my (then) new boyfriend, ended up quitting working back in derby cos i still couldnt cope with the commute etc and things just spiraled from there, i had a loan to pay and got into debt.
After 2 years me and him broke up cos he just wasnt 'there' for me and we just didnt /couldnt be compatible, i moved back home in 06 since then my mum and dad have really helped me get back on my feet, helping sort my money problems out, got me on benefits cos im unable to work at the moment etc.
At the end of 06 i met my now boyfriend who is just wonderful, he listens he understands he tries and hes there.
So here i am now, still at home, still on med still on income support etc, BUT i feel im getting better everyday since. Still having trouble with it but i feel im learning new and better ways to cope with it etc.
So there you go! :0)
