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.
I suspect that talking abot how you feel with us, effectively strangers who can't/won't judge you, will help you express your feelings. I don't know if it will help but I do hope it makes you feel less alone.

My mum went through exactly what you describe a couple of years ago and it was very painful for involved, I won't go into details in a public forum but suffice to say my mum is 100% now and back to nagging me about grandchildren .

There is always an end to all of these things, it is just a matter of finding it. Good luck mate.
