Not really sure where to post this. I've been looking back a bit lately and am becoming horribly aware of how badly I was bullied at school. I had raging acne, still have the scars, and also have rather a high pitched voice. Things were different then, back in the sixties and no one tried to protect me. All my adult life I've suffered from depression, can feel it creeping up on me now. Have had antidepressants, counselling and hypnotherapy . Anyone have any self help suggestions?

I've also suffered from depression for many years. I've just come back from a gp appointment....suffering with depression\anxiety...feel horrid ...just want to curl up and die. Have been prescribed beta blockers and sertraline ( have previously been in citalopram) so will wait and see if these help lift my mood. I hate myself for having this dreadful lurgy.
I do find it reassuring though to read other people have exactly the same feelings of despair. Onwards and upwards as they say!!
