Depression

[The devil's own]

Steve's right it can happen to anyone. I'm just coming through a pretty serious bout myself and been riddled with anxiety along with it. Being a psychiatric nurse I found it very hard to deal with and very frustrating that I couldn't sort myself out. Things were on the up until I had a head on crash today with my wife and baby in the car. We're ok but I'm back to being low, anxious and feeling all that comes along with it. This certainly ain't a matter for people to joke about, and it's a shame that a forumites can't show others respect when it comes to this horrible illness that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
People may remember my posts from earlier in the forum which came from the view of a professional, now I have the view from the other side. The one good thing that comes from this is I have a a true understanding of the other side, and that will hopefully enable me to help others better than I could before.
