“Oh don’t we all” I hear you cry.
It’s true, we all get down at times, have the Black Dog as Churchill called it, and I have those days too. However recently I have been having worse days – days when to be honest the thought that if I wasn’t here it wouldn’t matter. Other bad things too, which I won’t bore you with. Enough to say having to put my last cat down was the last straw…and no, I’m not a mad Cat Lady!
So now “in therapy”, and it is helping!! I hadn’t realised how much I was missing being able to honestly say things to another human; to have my views shown to me in a different way; to have questions asked that trigger different thoughts. It is early days but I do feel more positive now.
I wondered about posting this…but I am not ashamed of needing, and receiving, help. Sometimes it is good to confess.

Well done you,it’s no crime to have depression and certainly no crime seeking help.Having time with another person to listen and interpret your thoughts,feelings and doubts,giving you the opurtunity to find an answer is so health giving and carthartic.
Be kind to yourself.
With love,
