Hello
I'm completely new to forums on mental health, but not forums themselves.
I've been battling depression on and off all my life, and have been through the usual tropes - hopelessness, despair, self-harm, drug abuse, physical and sexual experimentation, weight loss / gain, as well as various other coping mechanisms.
I have also experienced the fallout and the impact that giving into the 'demon' depression, which lurks in so many of us, can cause.
In recent months Covid has hit me hard as I now approach almost a year of working at home, trapped with my head and my thoughts.
I've tried various self-care mechanisms and consider myself a realist, and a fairly rational, logical person (despite my username!) but loneliness and boredom often creep in. I also overthink a lot and can never get out of my head.
I spend the majority of my daily working life in front a laptop, so just suddenly decided that maybe I need to try a forum such as this.
Hopefully I can make some connections, beat the boredom and satiate my overthinking and dwelling on bad thoughts and ideas a little bit.
I also hope that I can help others, through my own personal experiences. Obviously everyone is unique, as are our thoughts and feelings, but I feel I have always been a good listener, and sometimes it is just good to talk it out.
Thank you for taking the time to read my spiel!
