Hi all I am baaack...

I have been suffering from depression for some years now and last year I was also diagnosed with social anxiety, anxiety due to low self esteem, social phobia, agrophibia and OCD. I have been a inpatient in The Cairns Clinic which is a reasonably new facility in Cairns that caters to patients with depression, anxiety, bi-polar, addictions, cronic pain and other mental illnesses. I have had two stints in the clinic, one in December for 3 weeks and another 3 weeks in March. I am so much better now, my family and friends tell me I even look better. :?

I am so glad to be back and am looking forward to scrapping my pants off. :shock: :lol:

Thank you for kind thoughts and encouragement, for twenty something years I have not spoken about it but now I am out of that depressing closet! Yah! And now I can actually see a light at the end of the tunnel. :idea:
So if anyone else is suffering, get some help it is so amazing to feel alive again. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

See you soon Helen, only 3 more sleeps until I will see you. I am soo excited. :mrgreen:

Hi Trisha! I'm a recovering-fellow-sufferer too and have struggled with depression since my teens. (I'm now in my mid forties) In 1999 I crashed again after the birth of my son and was re-admitted to hospital with severe PND. My marriage collasped in 2009 and some days I still feel totally overwhelmed by everything. Other days, I see a ray of sunlight that leds me to believe I'm conquering it (the depression)

I look forward to getting to know you better and glad you've had the courage to "come out of the closest"..I've often felt ashamed about myself not coping better.

I love your quote BTW ..

Julia I can recommend a couple of great books that explain the process of depression and what to do about it. If you prefer you can p.m. me for further discussion.

Thank you everyone. :)
