Depression Understood Forums

Hi there

Been talking in the chatroom today, first time here so thought I'd say a quick intro.

I've had on and off depressive episodes for the past 4-5 years of so, tho I've never been diagnosed with anything as I've not gone to a doctor. I had been doing okish for the past couple months but this weekend I hit a bad low and feeling I thought had lessened came back full force. Feelings of no self-worth, terrible loneliness, anger that the feelings were back, terrible self-esteem and more. So hasnt been a good weekend.

I'm terrified that this will last. I'm dreading going to work tomorrow. If I dont pull out of this it's going to affect my work. I moved to a new country about 5 or 6 months ago so dont really have any friends here. The loneliness is very painful right now.

Anyway thats a quick intro. Thanks for reading

I know the feeling of fear that the bad feelings will come back and stay, so I really empathize. There are alot of understanding people here and I'm sure you'll find alot of support. Hoping that things get better for you . .
Hang in there,

Welcome to the forum. There are so many kind and caring people here who will support you through the difficult times. We all understand this demon very well. I have made some wonderful friends here and I am sure you will as well.

I started going through the exact same thing a couple of hours ago. Right now I'm just waiting for it to pass... I'm also hoping it doesn't affect me at work tomorrow. It's nice to know that I'm not alone, and I hope it makes you feel better to know that you're not alone. *hugs*
