Hello Everyone

[Lanner]

My Name is Andy, been off work for two to three years with depression (didn't even know the word existed before) and been on several different mood enhancing cocktails and now feel i am ready to return to employment but i have lost all my confidence and feel a bit embarrassed about my fall - so to speak. Anyway finding my concentration all but non existent and stumbled across this website and feel the answers or at least some assistance is in here somewhere, so if you folks could point me in the direction of some concentration restoring / building exercises and if there are some get togethers planned (I am on Wirral) just drop me a line because i found that swopping ideas and coping strategies always worked for me in the past and hopefully i can be of some help too. :bighug1:

:welcome: Andy, it's great that you feel ready to get back into things. You could try a bit of voluntary work to build your confidence. It also looks good on the CV and you can usually get a reference from it. Glad that you have found us.
