Bio
Hello I'm Shannon! smiley I know that finding someone who genuinely understands can be really hard...especially with the fear that they may judge you or take things the wrong way; I found this site and am really glad it exists as I try to help others when I can and if I can.
Due to personal circumstances, I have had to be offline for quite a while so I cannot always guarantee I will be online, hence I do not yet have a schedule. However I will do the best I can to respond as soon as possible; If I do make an appointment with you I will 100% be online for such! :) 

I am here to talk about anything, however on that note, some things I have personal experience with/understanding of would be Eating Disorders, Depression, Self Harm, General Anxiety, Social Anxiety, LGBTQ and OCD.

Online Status: Green ~ Available to talk immediately!
Online Status: Orange ~ A bit busy at the moment but if you leave a message I will get back to you ASAP.
Online Status: Red ~ Cannot speak right now but if you leave a message I will reply when I am online.

Has anything Positive come from having depression? What has it taught you?
Depression Support / by ShanChan09

...See more It is often easier and sometimes possible to Only consider the negative aspects of depression considering how awful of a mental health issue it can be... I know from experience. However, thinking about this has led me to ponder on the fact that usually we only identify what depression does to/takes away from us, but even though this post is in NO way reinforcing depression, maybe it would be helpful to try and acknowledge some of the more positive lessons it has taught, e.g. Pros/Cons? For me, depression has taught me that sometimes you just need to let go and allow yourself to feel in general. Being a psychology nerd, I will also mention that while studying for my first year of AS year 1 exams, I learned that there is such a thing as 'Depressive Realists'; that those suffering from depression can sometimes have a more realistic view of life and it's outcomes instead of sugar-coating everything. Once again I will repeat that this is in no way reinforcing depression or saying that it is something Good to have, I am just trying to approach this from a different angle :) ~ Shannon

very kind, and had a lot of good advice. Was very clear that I needed time, and to do things in my way. Tried to tailor to my needs. Thank you!!!
She is amazing. I feel unjudged when I talk to her. She talks to you like a friend instead of a therapist. Highly recommend
I've only talked for a short while so it's hard to fill all that out but they seem really nice and I dint feel judged
Amazing, caring listener that helped me to feel much better. Your examples are amazing, thanks:)
