Interesting thread, its come as a relief to see this actually.
Been suffering from depression for a while now, not exactly sure how long. I wouldn't say I'm a depressed person by any means, I haven't felt like this since I was in my teens. Normally I'm quite confident and out-going but recently I've slipped into myself in a way uncharacteristic of me and I feel an inability, almost a pointlessness, in communicating with other people. There's a sense of futility that permeates everything, I'm somewhat involved within the London music scene and as much as I'd like to carry on contributing I feel hopeless in attempting. Before I could brush it aside but now its taking a serious detrimental effect on who I am.
Its difficult to pinpoint any exact moment it started, although I suspect it may involve the use of drugs. Both my parents are also bi-polar so that probably plays a part but I haven't been to the doctor to find out.
Thanks for any help.
