Hi - I'm new too

[Gilliebean]

Hi everyone. I'm a Reiki healer - great at giving - but not very good at asking for help. I have had various bouts of depression since my first son was born 40 years ago. They seem to come very unexpectedly.
I suffer panic attacks ranging from little to chronic where I just have to run away from the cause . This time however, I have dropped so low that I've had those really dark thoughts you just cant talk to anyone about. I dont want to talk to anyone or go anywhere other than to the sea. I manage to pick myself up eventually, and am just beginning to take my first steps forward and upward.
Isn't it funny how you can talk to people about physical illness - but the word 'mental' you just cant talk about!
