Hi @oPetrovich

Welcome to the Sane forums.

Can totally relate to life being like an elevator. It certainly has its ups and downs.

Some days things are going really good and then other days feels like the whole world is crumbling around me with no way of recovering.

Hopefully you find the answers you are looking for on here. I have found the forums such a supportive place. Best thing is other people understanding what I am going through.

Just a note. If you use the @ button then a members name will appear and you can tag them.

I hope today is going well for you.

Re: Hi 👋

Hey @Spirit_Healer

Just curious about everything, because itll be difficult in relationships. I had to leave my girlfriend because I didn't want to bring her down any further with the depressive episodes and just having such a negative aura.

Have you experienced anything like this? I've seen responses on other websites from users. but I am curious to know what others have to say and how they handled it or what to say/do.

Many thanks! 🙂
