    First of all Happy New year everybody :slight_smile:
    Ok so wow, the last 5 days in hospital was a big turning point for me. I arrived back home just this morning. I'm feeling better, it was super scary for me at first, with all the new people and doctors etc, but I calmed down after a while and opened up. I'm now on antidepressants and starting a healthy weight gain diet (the anxiety/depression) did some damage. I'm also going to start the gym next week, to positively channel my negative energy. I still had suicidal thoughts and urges, especially the first few days because I was so scared and defensive-like, but they have calmed down, and I'm being monitored closely by my family. Hope you guys have been well :slight_smile: thanks so much for all the support. (&&&)

    I'm so glad you're on the road to feeling better. Antidepressants can be life-savers...literally. I've been on them for about a year, and there's been a drastic change. Good luck to you!!!!!

    Don't know you, and don't know why not.

    Let me know if I can give you any ideas and comfort and support, as we should be there to lift each other up.

    Seems way too many peeps that are coming out are depressed.

    Yeah finally getting it written on paper for my parents to see and take me seriously about my depression and anxiety is a relief. The suicidal thoughts and feelings are still around and the next few weeks are going to be insanely hard because my mom is coming over from South Africa for a visit and she belittles and bullies me, and I have to dress more feminine around her or she will throw a fit :/ so I'm just going to take it one day at a time and try keep my cool (and not kill myself!). Seeing my psych just before she arrives to develop a safety/coping plan to get me through that time.
