Introducing myself
I have been chronically depressed since childhood. Nothing has really helped me- therapists, psychologists, psychiatrist, various meds, an eight week CBT course - each helps for a short time and then I relapse. I am 68 now so I have been depressed about 60 years. My friends and family do not want to hear about my depression so I cannot talk about it with them. I am at a loss to see how I am ever going to feel happy.
Hello 
My name is Taylor and i'd like to hear about your thoughts and things on your mind if you need someone to talk to. 60 years is a long time to be dealing with chronic depression ~ i can't imagine how you must feel at this point, especially with having a family who does not want to lend a ear.
I see you've tried all kinds of treatment and therapy and nothing has seemed to work on the long term and even though I can't really provide a solution to that, i'm here for you to talk to. There are also lots of group support chatrooms on 7cups that you can access here and socialise with other members or talk about how you're feeling and you can also connect 1-1 with volunteer listeners!
