Hello to the group! I happened to stumble upon this site, and am very moved by many of the threads I have read. I must confess I actually feel a bit better, as I no longer feel alone in my struggle with depression...and whatever else my doctor says I have this month! To the best of my memory, depression has been a part of my life since the first day I can remember...and that goes very very far back...in fact..my first memory is that of my grandmother's chest! She died by the time I was about a little over a year old, but had been ill for a long time...strange that I would remember being held as a baby! (why oh why am I even discussing this?)
Well..that is a bit about myself. I am glad I stumbled upon this site, and am happy to be here.
I am looking forward to following the threads, and I am greatful for having stumbled upon so many supportive people!

I stumbled on this board years ago. Isn't it just such a relief (not that you'd ever want others to suffer) to know that you aren't alone?

Welcome!

Being held and feeling secure as a baby is the most wonderful gift. That memory may sustain you through times when you feel unlovable, or when you feel the world is completely unsafe. (Can I borrow that memory for a minute?) Did you have that security with others in your life?
You are discussing it because it is incredibly important.
Glad you are here.

This is a great place to be, and you are welcome! I've learned an amazing amount about myself and my therapy through this site. I've made far greater strides toward recovery than I could have without Babble. Again, welcome!
