Well i've been with depression for 2 years now... medicine and all is a hard thing to get by... as with you BQ and SG in general has been a great help just seeing that space cat makes you feel a little better, and even tho i am not really better, things have been improving a little for me... today i aproved a calss that i was having a hard time with, i know how hard it is when every good thing is a mountain and every bad thing are chasm and good things a really hard to come by, good to see a person going of this shitty thing, thanks for all and hope you get a lot better, you deserve it

Congrats on your recovery, I'm glad for you and for your new job.
Your history sounds very similar to mine so I can understand you very well. In my case, although the search for a job is still being difficult to me, day after day I feel better and at this moment I can see some light at the end of the tunnel. I have to say that after read your message I've felt a little bit stronger, so thanks for sharing your history with us.

It's really good to hear that things are getting better for you (and/or anyone else). Hope you'll be able to fully close that period of your life very soon and move on :) Good luck!
PS - Thanks for the great giveaways, hope they didn't damage your wallet! :)

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!
