Hi friend. Being honest is bloody hard, it's four in the morning stuff.
But for us reading, it's breathtaking and beautiful.
Please keep us updated.

Hearing you @Anon92 ,
The idea of doing things to be 'happy' is a big one in today's society. I think this is where the thrill of social media can come in too.
In a way, it's a start that you recognise some thing needs to change.
What do you ideally want life to look like for you? I hear how confusing it can be for you right now.

Hi @Shaz51 , thankyou for the hello. I often see your title and like what you say. I hope this finds you well.
I am good thank God. Have recently come out of dark place. People close to me are going through very difficult times. Why when one can barely help oneself does one encounter folk who are on the very edge and losing hope.
I resolved to 'come out' with regards to my depression. (My daughter has forbidden me from using that term but it seems the most appropriate.) I thought it important that folk know that the person who they have let come close is often depressed. A few light bulb moments.
Any way I am telling you now and ask your for forgiveness and patience in advance.
Thankyou again for your kind thoughts
Sooth.
