Does this subforum serve any purpose since Katy-sara left? So many 1 post "threads"....

It is difficult, she gave such a lot here. I think we all still feel the loss.

That would be me.

I tried to post here this morning but am not as clever as Katy on computers so must have sent my post out into space somewhere. Please don't remove this forum because I think it is still very useful to so many people and can continue to be so for a long time to come. Some answer posts privately, a lot of folks need to hover or dip in now and again. Often it is enough to speak, knowing that someone somewhere will read and care. x

Thanks, I suppose I was thinking that if people do write something and nobody answers that they will feel that nobody is reading or caring, especially if they are upset at the time. Don't worry about the forum being removed, I've got nothing to do with the administration of this place. Nothing I say has any impact on anything, anywhere.

Believe me...people do really care here, I am proof of that. It is having the right answers for the posts that is really hard. x Keep talking/writing and know that this is a good place to be.

Quoted for truth.

I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.

I know this may sound terribly naive but, how do you know for sure if you are depressed? - without seeing a doctor (I've never discussed it with anyone - including my family).
I have visited a few websites and took a test on this site: http://www.depressedtest.com/
Here are my results:
Major Depression: Moderate
Dysthymia: High-Moderate
Bipolar Disorder: Very Slight
Cyclothymia: Slight
Seasonal Affective Disorder: Moderate
Postpartum Depression: N/A
Can anyone give their opinion please. I feel down all the time but I have no right to as I probably have a better life than a lot of people I know.

Feeling like you have no right to be feeling bad is definitely a sign of depression, and I doubt people who aren't depressed worry that they might be depressed.. When you first go to a doctor and say you think you're depressed, you go through a questionnaire similar to that with them, so it is a good indicator.

Thanks for listening Frazzy.
I still haven't discussed my feelings with my family and I really don't want to see a doctor. On Tuesday (which was September 11th - so probably didn't help as I have strong feelings on that day anyway)I had my lowest point yet. I was at work and found myself thinking "Will I ever be happy again?" - I then tried to cheer myself up by thinking it was like a Dementors scene in Harry Potter, lol.
Anyway I finally found the courage to talk to my manager and he let me work somewhere else to where I have been recently so that I'm not feeling so stressed out all the time. So as a result for the last couple of days I have felt alot happier! Go figure it really is good to talk!
