    About Me

    Hi out there. My world has shrunk considerably after everything that has happened to me.I am mainly a keep to myself kind of person and usually like to support other people but I have a habit of forgetting about myself and what I want or need. I am slow to make friends and have to trust them before I can open up a bit. I have 3 grown-up children and am at a loss of knowing who I am these days.

    Interests

    I used to play darts but had to give that up. I like reading, doing crosswords, nature, the countryside, history, natural history and loads more.

      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      i have suffered bouts of depression for as long as i can remember. unhappy childhood, widowed at 32, having to put my autistic daughter in specialist care, losing my dad to prostrate cancer, domestic violence after a bad remarriage, becoming homeless with my 2 other children, getting the divorce sorted, moving into a new home, being lonely and feeling that i can't get anything right.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      very helpful when i have the sessions but the good things slide after a while and i am back at stage 1 again
      Positive Thinking Not Working
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      helpful it sorted out what i had to do about my second marriage
      Support from Friends & Family Not Working
      not everyone wants to lend a sympathetic ear when u need it
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      been told that the dose i am on can't be upped and that my gp can't do more than chase up my counseling appointment.
