I've been through a living hell in the last three months (several really nasty things happening all at the same time) and its got to the point where my self-confidence is on the floor. I've been on people-avoidance for about a month now, hiding in one room almost 24 hours a day and I'm basically heading for self-destruction. I've had to go to a doctor who yesterday diagnosed depression (he's a clever doctor!

)
Because I moved to a different county a few months ago, he can't do much for me so I have to find a new doctor first, then start all over again and will end up on happy pills and/or speaking to a counsellor.
This has certainly made me think slightly differently, though. I think i'm going to come back to this thread a few times over the next few days and re-read it.
Why am I telling you all this? I don't know. Kind of feel 'at home' here.
