Depression for 15 years, been to counselling countless times, private therapy a handful of times, tried citalopram, fluoxetine, bunch of herbal anti depressants, have found that time is the best healer for my depression. Never diagnosed properly (mainly due to a very poor UK mental health system), suspected self diagnoses is somewhere around bipolar/borderline personality. Cycles of crippling depression last around 1-3 weeks every 4-5 months, otherwise high functioning and very self reflective.
I don't remember the last time i self harmed, was in the last 2 years, although very obvious scars on my left arm are an occasional reminder of the past.
Am happy talking about all aspects of my life with others, i am here to help as well as be helped.
