Congratulations on the new job and having some progress in your fight against depression. I've had it for quite some time now and know how debilitating it can be, either in big ways or in a bunch of small ways that all add up, and how any obstacle no matter how small can seem to big. Hang in there.

What I say may sound strange, but definitely it sincerely.
It is strange, because I write in the forum I do not know you in the real world.
At the same time sincerely, for that same reason, because I do not need to be supporting if I do not want - I do not know you in the real world.
So it is, I am happy that you managed to deal with your demons. This Alister it is a fierce battle - you yourself know it.
Do not give up, and congratulations on your new job.
Sometimes to talk with a stranger helps if you want add me on steam, or if you use Telegram too.

Congratulations on your recovery. You're so strong. I envy you. I, too, suffer from depression. I know how crippling it can get, but keep at it! I hope things look up for me, too. But just reading about someone else's life starting to turn around for the better already makes me feel happy and hopeful. Thank you. ^-^

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!
