Introduction

[Happy]

:)

I am not actually new to this site, I joined a while back, but was given strict instructions to introduce myself, and I always do as I am told! lol

My name is Happy and I was diagnosed with depression in January 2003. I have got through the very bad times of overdose, self harming and constant thinking about suicide. Although a lot more work is still yet to be done.

I no longer have counselling, CBT, but I do still visit the psychiatrist and still take medication, (when I remember)

I feel like I have found out so much about myself as a person since being ill and also have learned how to change my way of thinking and I now I can honestly say for the first time in my life, I actually like myself. I still have several issues and still need that little bit of help to pull me through the days and that is why I am here.

I hope to chat with you all soon and make some friends, share experiences and hopefully we can all help each other, if not to overcome this, then at least make it bearable.

Take care all

Happy
