Hello
This is my first time using this website. I've had depression since I was 20. It started after my first child. I also have anxiety, ptsd and DID. I have 2 children. My youngest at the moment is having behaviour issues and its been triggering me and I've nearly had to check myself in. I have a wonderful supportive partner who doesn't judge and understands, but it would be nice to talk to other people who are in similar situations like me.
