Depression AMA
Hi All,
I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you all to this support forum here on 7 Cups and hope you find these forums useful.
I've lived with depression for quite a few years now and can appreciate how difficult it can be to live with depression on a day to day basis. I can also appreciate the short term and long term affects it can have on the individual as well as those closest to them.
I'm available for AMA and if there is anybody who would just like someone to listen then feel free to send me a message and I'll be happy to arrange a day and time to talk.
How has depression shaped your life, do you feel that any positives have come out of your experiences? If you could press a button and remove depression would you ? (Please know I did not intend this to be insensitive but I know some people feel there experiences although involving a great deal of suffering help them to be the person they are today, in a positive way).How did you know you first had depression ? Do you feel that the attitude in the UK towards not discussing emotion and mental health stigma has made it harder to cope with your depression or do you think that culture does not even enter this?
