Hello.
New here, but not new with depression. Severe chronic. I'm 50 now, and as far as I can remember, even into my early teens, that I have always been depressed. It's always a struggle, and this year has been particularly difficult, and not because of COVID. In a while, I'll post a more detailed "story" but for now, I'll just say that I'm grateful that I found this forum. I just really needed a safe place to expression what I am feeling without judgement, offer advice based on my prior experiences, and join a community and communicate with others (even virtually) to break the loneliness and cope with my never ending, debilitating depression.
