Just joined up :)
Hi all
Just like the title states, I've just joined the site, after finding a link on the mentalhealth.org page. Wanted to say hi to everyone out there & hope everyone's doing ok. I'm not sure how much or what I'm allowed to say, I hope I don't upset anyone or set off anyones triggers, but here goes.
I'm Michelle, I'm 26 & living in the wonderful & mighty Christchurch. I've had depression (diagnosed) for just-on one year. I'm living kilometres away from family and the majority of friends, but I've found that my Mum has been AMAZING though my ordeal - I don't know where I'd be right now without her support. I've only recently told my Dad about my diagnosis, and he's been great too; turns out he's dealt with it himself in the past (is depression a genetically-passed - sorry, don't know the right word there - sort of thing?). I'm on Citalopram which seemed to somewhat do the 'trick' last year, but not too sure at the moment. I'm starting to head into another relapse of it, but doing ok still in the grand scheme of things.
