I've debated putting this on for a while but I think it's important for me to do it if I am going to continue to get better and if anyone else feels the same then please get help. I have been a sufferer of severe depression for around 15 years and rather then speak about it I have used a variety of techniques and defence mechanisms to numb it, and convince everybody else I'm ok. I've been addicted to drugs, tell numerous elaborate lies to people so they can think my life is fun and I'm happy, I've got aggressive, lost a lot of friends , family and relationships and my life has been a constant cycle where I breakdown and then start again. The depression consumed me and on a couple of occasions I've nearly lost my life, but I did begin too loose who I was.
A few months ago I took a huge step and reached out to a local charity and have since been counselling weekly and talking things through, I've had gp appointments and am waiting to see a phsyciartrist for further help as well now being on anti depressants. I am still a long way away from where I need to be, but it's the best decision I ever made. I am learning to deal with things and cope and it's taken a huge weight off my shoulders.
Please lads, I know I'm not the only one, if any of you can relate to what I'm saying then take action and reach out before it's too late. Things will get better and we can all do it together.
Peace xx
