Struggles

Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum so I don't really know what to expect but I figure I'll make a post and see what happens. (:

I recently moved from my parent's house, where I was being cared for by my stay-at-home dad, to a new state with my partner. I've stuggled a lot over the last 6 years with my mental health (hence why I was being cared for) and now I've found myself far away from family and with only my partner. The change hasn't been easy, and still isn't.

My depression is trying to drag me down, and there are things I'm expected to do that I've never had to do before and that stresses me out. My partner is relatively understanding, but they have issues of their own and they can't support me much. I don't have a psych or even a regular doctor here yet and honestly I probably can't afford a psych anyway. I can feel myself slipping.

I've fallen to depression before, and I'm so scared it's going to happen again. It seems to get worse every time and each time I'm surprised to find myself still breathing. It's a dark place and I'm frightened.

I think that's all I have to say at the moment. Thank you for giving me a space to share.
