Hi, I'm new to this site, so hello to anyone reading this posting.
I beat my depression several years ago, after having lived with it from childhood. I want to say that I agree with all the points made on the depression page of this website - that the suggestions made really do work; even though you may feel that you are only treading water and not making any progress, and you may have relapses - days and weeks when everything seems black - this is a part of overcoming depression, realising that you WILL have bad days - but they are only that...just bad days, not a life sentence.
I would also like to recommend a website - Clinical-Depression.co.uk offers "The Depression Learning Path", which dispels the many myths and common assumptions about depression and gives you the bare facts. It's simply written and informative. You can also download it to file as an e-book, for a small contribution.
All the best, Kate.
