Lainey85

Hi Maryrose02,

i have been on and off citalapram for a few years now, I have never had any problems coming off them, I actually stopped them suddenly one day ( which is clearly not advisable, and I am not recommending it) but was fine, as I had other control measures in place, like my regular counselling, exercise, trying to socialise.

music really helped me in that particular time, one song that means so much to me, but now can't listen to as it reminds me of my dark spell, is Emelie Sande Wonder, I think it was on repeat for about a month.

every single persons depression is individual to the person, no two depressions are the same, but sometimes, hearing and trying other people's stories and pick me ups, can sometimes just be a little lift.

I struggle to talk to anyone face to face, that is my main problem. I put on a front for people for so long and then I'll have a breakdown because I've held on it. I have recently started writing and typing my words and feelings down and I started a blog that has helped a few friends of mine that I didn't even know suffered either. I need to get writing another to help me through and maybe see that light brighter at the end of this tunnel

Hi tiffanysamantha85,

i am am guessing the 85 is your year of birth, same as mine?

I have also suffered with servere clinical depression since I was 21, the most unlikely person you would ever think suffer from it (like all of us)

unfortunately since having moved to Aus 2 months ago I have had a few bad episodes. I would really be interested in reading your blog? If maybe you could pm the address or link? I would greatly appreciate it.

Writing is an amazing way to get out your emotions, it was the only way I was able to communicate during my Dark spells where I actually became a mute, and completely forgot how to speak! Don't worry this is certainly not the case now, and I could go on and on forever........ there is always light at the end of the tunnel x

Hi Alansuspect,

I'm being slightly premature here and just looking into the partner visa etc, am due to marry my Aussie fella in spring of 2016, what kind of items do they require? Is it bills in both names, joint bank accounts, photos? Cards etc to prove relationship?
