Hi, I am new here and looking for some support with my severe depression. I can't find my way round this place, I posted a question previously and now can't find it, so don't know if anyone replied. I really am desperate to get out this black fog that is now my life. I want to go to the chat room as I long to chat to someone, anyone who understands. I need 5 posts, do I just write anything to be able to chat, I don't get it ! Can anyone tell me how this site works I get lost , there's so many forums. Anyone care to explain ? I so want to talk about my depression, but where do I post ? Please help me. Thank you.

Hi there:

Welcome to Neurotalk.

Are you taking anything for your depression? Do you have clinical depression, or post traumatic stress, or did anything trigger this depression. We are here to listen in case you wish to write about your problems. We are a very caring compassionate group of people who help each other out. Might take some time, but others will respond.

Again, Welcome!!

Hello! Nice to meet you. I think, you can consult your doctor about taking anti-depressant pills. But, having some outdoor activities and going out with your family and friends can help you cope and not being depressed.

Hello everyone, I'm very happy that I found this sight. I can always relate and give and receive support in our mental health situations.
Being a bipolar person for the most part of my life, that I can remember, it's nice to not feel alone. One thing I'm trying to understand is that you can still lead a productive life with this disorder. I love examples of famous successful people who have bipolar and work with it in their life. Medication works for me thank goodness, but I still have bouts of bipolar bringing me down.

I would love to have people share as many people they know is bipolar and dealing. Like we all are, one day at a time

You all are most kind. Thank you
