Speaking retrospectively about my life and my illness

Posted in My Depression by Amanda at 12:50 on 13th May 2008

I want a normal life so much and do things everyone else does too.

But having this illness has distroyed most of that for me, and I cant ever see me coming out of this even half the person I was before.

Just cant help wonder what I have done so bad to have this happen to me?

I honestly dont know anyone that has suffered from this, and if they have they dont even want to share this information with me.

Sometimes I just wish I had someone who knew what I was going through, maybe then I could lay some demons to rest?

Even just to have a shoulder to cry on would be nice most times.

    I was once a patient who suffered from anxiety and depression.
    As far as i am concerned, a good way is to tell your story to your friends, and maybe they can give your some advice. On the other hand, sharing your story with your friends can make you relax.
    For anyone who has psychology trouble, a good friend is the best doctor.
    If you like, you can send E-mail to me, and i will tell you my story.
    Best wishes

    Yeah i know what you mean about talking to mates but lads dont really do the whole sharing thing with eachother.
    Im the type to bottle it up anyways, never know where to start when it comes to telling people how i feel.

    There aren’t always people to speak to about our emotions and it’s really quite normal to try to bottle things up too!
    But having someone to talk to is very important even if it is a friend or councillor?
    Frequently I find myself without people to talk to, this is mainly because I don’t have many true friends and those I do have I don’t want to burden with my problems.
    However I would love to hear your story if you would like to share it with me?
