LIght behind the clouds
I was diagnosed with severe depressiion after the birth of my first child at 21, and am now 38 and still struggling with my mental illness, and after 9 years in Australia I am ready to come home - I'm homesick! During my time in Australia I have had two hospital admissions, and changed medications twice, but have still managed to work. My family don't cope very well when I'm in crisis, so I'm not reallly sure what to expect when I get back to NZ.
Each day I'm getting a little better, and more hopeful for the future. I've got some phone numbers in Auckland that I can call for support services - are there any services that anyone can particularly recommend?
Any advice would be so much appreciated . . .

Hello.. and a warm welcome to TBBD.. :-)
Wow.. you're amazing to have been able to continue working through what you've experienced.. very hard to do that, though I guess it can give a focus on something that isn't depression and illness..
Good for you to be setting up support for yourself in NZ..
This link is to the Mental Health Foundation's resource finder section, for support groups, etc..
