Hi @Lioness72 welcome to the forums. As @tyme said, you are not alone. Finding support & connecting with others can be really difficult. Well done reaching out here & with going to get your mental health plan. I think it shows you are determined! I'm glad you have a beautiful daughter to keep you going. We need things in our life that remind is what is valuable.

Keep going👍 There are many lovely members here to chat with. It has helped me to know I'm not so alone.💜

Thank you so much for replying. This is the very first time I have ever joined anything online. It's nice to know there are people who really do care @maddison

Hi @Lioness72 and welcome to the forums.

I think I can relate to you in that I was recently hospitalised on a mental health order and I have had ECT for depression.

I’m sorry you are feeling so low right now and I hope you meet people here that understand what it’s like to be depressed.

I’ve just returned from my work Christmas “do” and won’t be up much longer.

Take care and once again, WELCOME!

Thank you for replying. Today I am really working on my mindset. I have had one of the worst years of my life. I am getting a mental health plan today and going to start therapy on Monday. I am going to start looking at the good things. You must be doing well to be able to go out. @Eve7

All the best with therapy @Lioness72 .

You are right. Mindset is integral to recovery. I hope you can continue connecting with us here so that you perhaps feel less alone in your journey?

Looking forward to hearing how you go.

I have 4 shelter cats and my daughters rescue dog. They are beautiful but all I can do at the moment is feed them and make sure that they are safe and looked after.I love exercise, gardening and music but have lost all joy at the moment. It's such a struggle to not cry all the time. I just tested positive to covid for the 2nd time this year as well. I can't give in to the way I'm feeling. All I want is to feel happy and I wonder if it will happen. Thank you for reaching out.I am all alone @tyme @Shaz51 @Eve7 @maddison
