Hi all :),
I`m Kevin, I`m 40 years old and I`ve suffered from depression and some anxiety on and off throughout my adult life. Also have issues with my skin and appearance and have previously had CBT for BDD. Due to bullying and things that happened during my childhood, I have a chronic lack of self-worth and self-esteem bordering on self-hatred.
Currently going through a really bad spell of depression. I`m signed off work, under the care of my local CMHT (currently waiting for them to decide what treatment/therapy I need) and I`m on Citalopram 40mg daily.
Apart from my wonderful sister and gorgeous nephews, I`m pretty isolated and lonely and find it hard to make/keep friends and partners. Recently thanks to some erratic behaviour due to my depression, I have lost contact with my best friend and I`m finding it hard to fill the gap that has been left in my life. She was the best thing in my life and I betrayed her trust and pushed her away and I hate myself for it.
Haven`t exactly painted a great picture of myself but if you haven`t been totally put off, I would love to meet, talk and chat to some of you lovely people on here - I get the impression that this is a place where people will understand and not judge me for having depression.
Hope you are all hanging in there and doing as well as can be expected.
Kevin :)
