hi people, am really down at mo :( really glad im on this group and everything tho, been really cool like quite a close group, other groups are never like that. am so depressed about everything, feel like i've fallen out of love with my bf but i still love him as a friend, dont kno wot to do, would really miss him if it ended and dont wanna be alone to be honest so am trying to make it work. does anyone else find it hard to show love with yr partner after a while? wot is that about? just feeling really emotional and tired but cant sleep, am in a state of double depression, the anxiety has worn off a little bit and am starting to just not care about anything anymore in self destruct mode, just got drunk last night cos i wanted to get away from myself which didnt work or help, nearly cheated etc. i just wanna be in love again with someone, think im in love with being in love, it must have something to do with depression, cos when i first got depressed i had an obsession with some bloke for ages. now its like im looking for a bloke to feel that way about again as some sort of release.

really hating my job as well, just wanna quit, its making me so much worse. anyone know if u can get benefits for depression, my sleep is so bad i cant work full time, and am trapped every way i  try to help myself.

anyway, gonna try and sleep, too sad tho x

Hi Steve

Welcome to the group,I think nearly everyone here are sufferers so if
you would like to tell us some more about youself you will be
understood. Photos can be uploaded via the photos link on the left it
is a while since I uploadd any but it is fairly straightforward you
may need to create a new album.

Hope that helps

Take care

Ian
