Hi all,
I was linked to this forum earlier today and I must say it seems like a great place where decent people can talk and get support with their problems.
I'm a 24 year old guy living in the south-east of England. I have been suffering from depression for several years now, and it's build up to the point where I had to go and see a doctor about two months ago, and am now taking SSRIs (with the dosage upped recently due to lack of effects.. Typical). I feel the main contributing factors are <social> anxiety, loneliness and hopelessness/lack of self worth or self esteem and lack of desire to do things I once loved.. Simple things like listening to music or working on my cars, or doing things surrounding my love for cars in general. I sure hope I can change somehow, because it just feels like I'm at the bottom of a big black vertical tunnel with no ladder to climb out of, and the 'light' getting further and further away... But hey ho, I'm slowly starting to accept certain inevitabilities surrounding my life.
So yeah.. I could honestly go on for hours vomiting the contents of my mind onto my keyboard... But I'll stop there for now. Feel free to ask me anything you want to know, though!
