Hello

[36star]

I have suffered depression and panic attacks for 21 years. Due to a recent relationship breakdown, I have finally been able to admit to my family and friends the underlying reason for this.
I am currently off work, and being treated with anti-depressants. I am also going for my first counselling session this afternoon.
I thought I would join this forum, as it seems like a good place to seek support.

Thanks. I may not be around much to start with, as I am staying at my parents for a few days, but just spending a few hours a day at home, to make sure my cats don't feel like I have left them.

Just an after thought....
my mind is a bit muddled at the moment.
I am 36, live with 4 cats, who keep me sane most of the time.
I do have very supportive family and friends, but, as they say themselves, they can support me, but can't really understand what it is I go through.
i hope, that when I am feeling well again, I will be able to offer support and understanding to other people who are going through the bad times.
