Depression Understood Forums

Hello there.
My name is Wayne, Im 34 and from the north east of england. Ive suffered low mood and depression for as long as I can remember. Im currently going through a very difficult time, and have joined this forum to share my thoughts and feelings. And try my best to help where I can.

Hello Wayne. It's nice to meet you. Welcome to the forum. And don't forget to try the chat room as well. Always people there. I am sorry you are going through such a low phase right now. We are here to listen.

Thanks Hollyann. Im just about to embark on my story.

Hey wayne, fellow brit here, but not from oop north
Hope you are finding being here helpful, are you getting outside help, therapy or ad's? I've tried to cope alone for years now but am beginning to think i may have made the wrong choice. Read your other post and yep, nice guys do finish last sometimes, but not always mate, remember that. Life throws us a bone when we least expect it at times.
That said, i'm very much single and for quite a while now as more heartbreak is not what i need at all.
Feel free to say hello or pm me if you want to chat with another brit, especially if you are a footie fan but that's not essential

Hi Wayne, and a welcome to you also. I am sorry to hear of your long struggle with depression. I hope you current situation gets better. It is brave to share your story and feelings and please know that we all wish you better times soon. Keep posting, and take care.

Hi, thanks for the replys. Im waiting to be seen by the local IAPT team, who are dragging their heels. I was advised by the company nurse to use the works well being program in the mean time. But they said they couldnt help me, as it was too involved. Its twice ive been turned away, the samaritans had "No one avaliable" either.

Hey WayneC

I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for trying to get help and people are not cooperating. Are there any other options for you? Anyone else you can write to or call? Please hang in there and don't give up, sometimes persistence is key for these types of situations. Hang in there!

Ive tried so much. Friends and family are trying their best, but I dont like putting on to people. Last night, I made a attempt on my life, but what I took wasnt enough. I feel so desperately lost. :"(

Hiya Wayne

Greetings from Lancashire. Hope you are doing ok this evening. Best wishes, Swan
