Hi. I was suffering from depression for few years and I thought it wasn't strong but last year at this time I couldn't handle life here any more so I asked my mother to come and I went to see doctor. I had very strong panic attacks, I couldn't see my future, I was in the dark. I got prescribed with antidepressant for I year and I.'m feeling much better now. I recently stop taking pills and I had few bad days but now I will start with psychotherapy just to have someone to talk outside my familyto resolve some issues I might have. Please don't pretend to be strong and don't pretend you can handle everything here. My husband never had any problems like that but he supported me. I told him that I'm not him and I can't handle things his way. I need to be happy first so I could be happy and good for my family. Please, if you can, talk to doctor. I saw neurologist, she wasn't even psychiatrist or psychological but she help me big deal. Even if you speak with your GP can help you. Anyway, best of luck for you.

Hi ladies, So glad you took the step to connect. I am an accredited coach, and what I've learned is about the power of connection. You sound just plain lonely. Perhaps those who are feeling the same could plan a meet up and get to know each other. Making friends here can be hard, so you need to make an effort. I know when you're feeling down, you don't feel like making the effort, but taking action is the key. Another suggestion is to read the book "The Happiness Advantage" by Shawn Achor. It's a good read and he has lots of practical scientifically-based ideas for improving happiness. All the best, Donna

Hi Beadzyyy, Firstly, I want to say well done for putting down in words how you feel, and I'm sending you a virtual hug. I'm sorry you are feeling depressed. It is sad that you feel you can't talk to your husband about this, but I wondered if there is anyone else that you feel you could talk to, like a family member or friend who you trust and importantly, would be sympathetic. Have you thought about seeing a doctor? Depression is a very real problem and getting the right sort of help is important. Sometimes just a sympathetic ear, sometimes medication, but talking to a professional is the first step if that is something you feel able to do. Please do not try to struggle through this alone. Debbie x Debbie, thank you so much, that meant alot for me. I have told a family friend in the UK how i felt because she herself if Bipolar. But other than give advice, what can one really do? As for seeing a doctor, i wouldnt know where to begin.. and it also means explaning myself to my husband. Which is then going to make his feel low blame himself. He automatically thinks its because he isnt doing enough for me. But i know its not even related to him. I suppose its not really something that everyone understands unfortunatly.. x

I feel your pain! But take care sometimes depression feelings can be cause because of vit D deficiency. Also try to go to the gym it relaxes me and also when the weather gets better spend sometime outside even if you are alone with a cup of coffee and a book.

Morning Ladies... i am currently living in Ras Al Khaimah and i think im suffering from depression...i feel like its not something i can discuss with my husband because to him, depression doesnt exist. And "if your smiling, your not depressed". I dont have much time for a social life because of kids and family life. Im begnining to feel trapped, with noone to talk to about it.
