Discussion Looking for a friend!

[bella10]

Hello everyone at SS!

I've been someone who has struggled with depression since the age of 12. Now, at 28 and having found this site, I feel that I am no longer alone and that my feelings are not 'weird' or 'wrong.' It has been wonderful to find support here and I would really like to make some friends. I live in Kent, UK and would love to have a penfriend or someone to communicate with as I feel someone who understands what depression is like would be an amazing friend and the conversation wouldn't have to be a negative one. Simply sharing life stories, recipes, adventures, ideas etc would be a really big help to me and so I'd like to ask if anyone is interested in chatting - thanks in advance :)

Hey! Feel free to drop me a message anytime. We are around the same age, I'm 29, live in the UK as well.
You're feelings are never wrong or weird. Don't think that of yourself here you can be honest and open and it's judgment free. There are some truly wonderful people here, some of the kindest souls you will ever meet. I hope you find some friendship amongst us all

Hi! Ah, thanks so much BPD Barbie, that means a lot to me that people understand. I'd love to write to you! It certainly does feel like a supportive community. Have you been here long? x

I've been here a while I guess, since the 1st of December which feels long lol. I'm always on here, have some sort of forum addiction I think haha. But it's the best place I've ever visited, never regretted signing up. This place and people saved my life, honestly they have. Despite the name, it's filled with amazing people.

I am male and about 10 years younger, but also from the south UK! Feel free to message me sometime :)

 

[bella10]

Totally get that. It's as if nothing needs to be said about any awful feelings because they are understood. I tried to send you a message just to see if I could work out how (!) but haven't got a clue! Are people able to message each other? Anyway, here's a bit about me.... I'm a pianist and teacher of primary as a supply and love nature, animals and art. I run my own small art business which keeps me busy :) How about you? :)

Hi, I'm from the UK as well but I'm much younger than you. I'm turning 21 exactly a month from today but it would be lovely to chat. I've been depressed myself throughout my whole life. Feel free to send me a PM whenever you feel like :)

 

[Marktheghost]

I don't think you can send PMs until you've posted a certain number of messages. Does anyone know how many?

I'll be in touch once I've bumped my number of posts up. (This one's got me one nearer to being able to!)
