Is depression / suicidal thoughts normal?

Post by thirdfocus »

Hi

i guess i been having negative thoughts and such since aged 14, 23 Now and last year was the worse year for me been heavy having thoughts of suicide.
Wondering if anyone else has this? i seen some facts off a site that people suffer from anxiety / depression quickly by dyspraxia wondering if anyone else has the same thing.

Thanks

Hi Tom

Sadly these sort of feelings are quite common for many people. Being dyspraxic does take its toll and you'll find plenty of posts on anxiety, panic attacks depression, low self esteem and all kinds of other troubles here. However, we also hope the site will also give you ideas for coping strategies/solutions you can borrow and adapt to work for you
