Hi everyone
I've known about this site for a long time now and have finally got round to joining.
Have suffered bad depression on and off for over 30 years, although I have only come to realise recently that it is brought on by anxiety/panic. I can't understand how I never made the connection any sooner but better late than never.
I am in a good full-time job, have a lovely wife, 2 lovely kids and a nice house. Everything a lot of people would want, except I carry this depression round me with me all the time. It is blighting my life and recently has got to the point that I am now a bit scared of myself. Depression runs in the family, including a cousin that committed suicide in 2000.
I have read so many self-help books I am sure I could write one myself, but I am starting to believe there is just something inherently wrong with me. I just can't "think" my way out of the black hole, no matter what the self-help theory is.
Hope to pick up some good tips and share experiences with people on here and it would be great to make some new connections and get some support too.
