I found that a big part of my troubles is the loneliness you can feel and i think that by knowing how others are coping or learning from others' experiences we can all help each other. To say it has helped you means more to me than you could possibly imagine (or maybe you can as someone who's like minded?!) Should you find the freedom to write your own posts, it would be an honour to read. Make sure you let me know if you do!

I think having an insight into someone else's struggles can be reassuring that you're not alone and different ways of coping should always be shared if there's a chance it can help!

This can't have been an easy post to write, but you've done it so well. It might be a bit odd to hear this from a stranger, but it really helped me - it's always good to know you're not alone. I hope one day I can have the same courage you do and post on my blog about my struggles, because like you said, even if it helps just one person it will be worth it, and I'm sure this post has helped more than just me :) Oh, and your rabbit is adorable!!! xxxAnnie Warrenhttp://romeandaway.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085333912462759937.post-44258664288529507712015-04-26T23:00:29.617+01:002015-04-26T23:00:29.617+01:00Honestly, this is such a great post!

This is my first time reading your blog and it's a definite follow :) You have a lovely way of writing that's very personal and I respect that a lot. It's really difficult to open up about your personal life like that and I admire you so much for it! It has sparked a little flame inside me to write about my experiences with depression again. Back in the days of Bebo, I wrote about it and so many people gave me a bucket of hate which obviously made me worse but now I can say I'm in a much better place after years of trying different methods to cope. I found mindfulness to be such a great help, even today! I practice mindfulness everyday and have adopted new habits to my daily schedule to spend time with myself which makes a huge difference. I'm glad you were able to share your story with us today! Thank you so much and keep up the fab posts Sophie :) ~ Becky :) xo<br /><br />pocahontasjane.wordpress.com Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085333912462759937.post-87017060970111176982015-04-26T20:28:56.463+01:002015-04-26T20:28:56.463+01:00A very brave and stimulating readA very brave and stimulating readAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085333912462759937.post-26429440397736966782015-04-26T20:21:28.618+01:002015-04-26T20:21:28.618+01:00This is such an important post to share, Sophie, t...This is such an important post to share, Sophie, thank you for this. I struggled with depression during college when I was around 18 and had to drop out twice before finally finishing my A-levels and heading to university. It wasn't a big thing but it boosted my confidence and helped me over that hump in my life, so this message to stay strong and keep fighting is an important one and I really hope you are feeling much more in control of your life now, I know how hard it can be, especially when it can become so easy for those feelings to re-surface again.
