Hi everyone, I've been away from the website for a long while now. I think I'm going through a depressive phase. I don't know what had brought it along, but I'm just really reclusive now and find it difficult to manage too much mental information. What do u think it might be, or is this just normal?

Hi @dilly It's one of those invisible symptoms, isn't it. No one really knows how you're feeling or what's going through your mind unless you tell them. Do you have anyone you can talk to? My GP gave me some good advice a few weeks back. I was having what i would call a slight 'melt down' in his office and he said that it is absolutely fine and completely expected to have a melt down now and again, but if it turns into something more prolonged then it can become a problem. If this is the case then, like cameron said, it's perhaps time to visit your GP. Take care x
