Living With the Black Dog

Hi, my names Tim and welcome to my blog!

I have suffered from depression for most of my life now and it has been with me since the age of about 9 or 10. I have started this blog a) because some 10 months ago it started to recur and I am now in a position where I badly need to get medical help and b)to help and support others who suffer from this terrible illness.

4 weeks ago today, at the end of my tether, and without telling anyone I packed a bag and caught the earliest bus and got a 1 way train ticket to the Welsh town of Llandudno with a half-assed intention of beginning a new life. Two weeks later I returned, very unhappy and with the realization that you cant run away from your problems!

Wednesday (yesterday) was a bad day, I talked to my neighbor. He knows of my current situation and has persuaded me to get medical help and since our local surgery has moved from the next village to ours I have decided to make an appointment and walk down to see my GP next week. I'll keep you posted!

Will speak tomorrow.

Tim.
