Congratulations on your new job and for overcoming your life's obstacles. I agree with zombiehug, save some money for yourself before creating more giveaways.
Thank you for the giveaways, both are great games

Monies no good to me dead, it's there to be spent, I'll have plenty! I really wanted to give back, especially to those who inadvertently helped me, for all the support people unknowingly gave during my hard time. I know what its like to have nothing and feel hopeless, just giving someone the chance to win something nice might keep them going for a little bit.

Haha, perhaps poorly worded, I meant that they didn't cost me a lot of money compared to the help I received from people here(even if they didn't know they were helping).

BG is one of my favourite series growing up as a child, didn't expect it to be as well received as it has to be honest.
I agree entirely about the just seeing things to win aspect, I loved entering puzzles and hidden GA's for wishlisted games. I couldn't believe some of the GA's I managed to enter and the thought and effort people had selflessly put into it. Keep going bro, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I haven't been here very long, but I can already say that you were lucky to have found such an amazing community for support during your hard times. I feel honored to be a part of it. Thanks for sharing, and good luck moving forward! :)

One of my first impressions of this site when I first found it was..."this is a nice place? Friendly? But....we're on the internet right?!"

I wish it felt quickly, it has been 12-18 months or so, couldn't put an exact "date" on the time I first felt "bad". I am lucky though that it hasn't lasted as long as a lot of people. Medication helped, therapy did not, close friends who knew did.

well tbh at first i did type relatively quickly, but than i realized i know some people that took much much longer to sort things out, so thats why i left that part out :=)

Got a friend who has been in such a patch, nothing much I can do for them, but one hopes anyone stuck in a depression pulls through.

All you can do is be understanding and try and take it at their pace. My main thing was I didn't want to be patronised, I said please don't ask me if I'm ok every 5 minutes. I just wanted to be treated normally. My other friend who suffers from quite severe depression though needs permanent reassurance, everyones different.

Hello there! I was toying with how I was going to do this and when, now seems as good a time as any!
For the last year or so, I have suffered with serious depression, without going into too much depth It has kept me confined to my house and unable to work for quite some time. Having no money has meant that I have relied on as many "free" sources of entertainment as I could fine. Sometimes I would spend an entire day on SteamGifts because the hope of winning something new was just as enjoyable as playing something new. I have won a lot of games in my time here, I have always tried to give back how I can(pretty hard not having a steady income) I've relied on Tremor/Bundles/Money leftover from Christmas and Birthdays.
Well, there IS light at the end of the tunnel, I have been on a steady road to recovery for a few months now and have recently landed a new job. During my time with depression, I was a trainee teacher in his final home stretch before being fully qualified, depression ruined that. However luckily I have managed to get a very well paid job with the qualifications I do have in a completely different career. I started 2 days ago.
So as a small thanks to every person who's GA I entered, won or just spoke to during my time here whilst I've been ill, I want to give back what I can. At the moment, I'm still on next to no money, as soon as that first wage comes in expect to see the GTA V type giveaways. However I couldn't wait any longer so In the meantime here are a couple of GA's to tide you over for a month before I resurrect or start a similar new thread with the bigger games in there.
Thanks again! Anyone else who suffers please feel free to speak up, I know there was a similar thread about not being alone a while back but the sticky thing about depression is you don't always feel up to talking!

EDIT: Ok so I wasn't prepared for such an overwhelming response so quickly! I will try and reply to people when I can, some people have said some lovely things and I would like to extend my thanks to them by replying, give me chance guys! Thanks again!
EDIT 2: Wow, so many responses, I really wasn't prepared for so many! I want to give a blanket thanks out to everyone who wished me luck in my new job and shared their well wishes. I am trying to reply to everyone but time is a premium at the minute with the new job so it could take a few days! Please don't think I'm ignoring your kind words! Peace!
