Re:Welcome to the Healthtalkonline Forum on Depression.
I've been suffering from depression for more than ten years.It's sad when your friends and family think,that depression is not an illness but just another excuse for people like me.They don't realize how frustrated my life is at the moment,as I'm struggling to find a job,I live with my mum and on top of it they think I'm just useless.
Either though I'm seeking professional help at the moment for CBT is not working on me, as i mentioned early on because of the outside environment effect that got on me.
I do feel almost every day suicidal,but thank god I'm tough character and determine person, I know I've done so many mistakes in the past but yeah,i will get through this as-well.
Re:Welcome to the Healthtalkonline Forum on Depression.
i feel the same way you do, my depression started after the birth of my 1st daughter 7 years ago, i have 2 children now and i'm married, i get spells of depression that start very suddenly with no apparent reason, i don't have a great relationship with my eldest child, she was born prematurly by c section and i have never really bonded properly which makes me feel extremley guilty because my relationship with my youngest child is wonderful. I am irritable and quickly fly off the handle at my eldest, i want to love her more but i don't know how and the more i feel i'm failing her the worse i feel.
