About Me
I have a son and a partner who I have lived with for 14 years. I work P/t as a community carer in the evenings, but not every evening. I have a border collie dog and five chickens who we keep for their eggs. I love reading and swimming but am unable to go at the moment because of my depression. I suffer from depression sinusitus and migraines.
Interests
reading swimming, looking after animals, eating out, cinema. I am interested in hearing from people who have depression and how they get motivated
