Hello
I'm Joe (as if the username didn't tell you that)
I married, living in Northumberland, and struggling to deal with low mood, anxiety and depression.
I've just left another job (which is part of a vicious cycle I seem to have been going through for years- which I'll hopefully post about in the future)
My depression/moods/ anxiety have been ongoing for what I have realized recently is years. I have a very helpful and understanding Doctor, although I'm not sure the medication I'm on is helping-then again, am I in the right mind to be deciding that.
I've been seeing a mental health practitioner for almost 6 months now, and am currently doing CBT, which I'm finding very challenging, both mentally and emotionally. My lowest point came in June this year when I tried:weep::weep:, its something I struggle with every day- I just wish I didn't feel this way anymore- life is very very hard at the moment, and has been for quite a while.
I've used forums in the past when I've dealt with other illnesses I've had and met some wonderful people, and made some great friends. I'm here to make new friends, share my story, and contribute in whatever way I can.
If you've read all of the above, thanks for sticking with me.
Joe
p.s oops just realized that this is my 2nd post, I actually first posted in July 2011. Sorry- a lot of life has happened since then.
