MOONLIGHTFemale 58 Years Old

I attended a seminar on suicide and picked up a flyer for dNet. I logged on that same night. For many years I suffered with insomnia, pacing the floor at night trying not to wake up my sleeping family. Finally there was something to do, somewhere to come when the horrors of my illness overwhelmed me.

LEESEFemale 17 Years Old

Being a 17- year old female in a middle class family in Ballarat, Victoria, I was not able to tell anyone about my depression because once my parents found out, they were also told that it was because of sexual abuse by my brother. I felt so alone and like everywhere I went I was the only one with depression.

I think we live in exceptional times – some people in the world are treated as gods, being so rich, or so famous, or so this or that. It seams that just being human is not enough. The only person that needs to know how good you are is yourself, so make sure you tell yourself on many occasions that you are doing just right.

PETERMale 57 Years Old

Having a caring and understanding family has had a major impact on my recovery. If I am feeling down and don’t want to be involved with anyone, I am quite content to sit at the computer researching the effects of various medications or playing and listening to classical music which is very calming.
