Hi, I very rarely check the UK message board because I am from Australia...however, tonight as a wonderful form of procrastination I decided to see what was going down in the 'Motherland'...LOL...
Well "Hello"....I have, and am still (yet hopeful that things will change) going through the terrible trauma of the dreaded final exams, as well as battling depression and CAH. Believe me, when I say it has been a horrendous up-hill battle to get where I am today...But a battle none-the-less that is important that I journey through. I am in the process of finding peace with myself and CAH - and something that all sufferers have to go on, in order to really 'own' their condition.
I will admit that I have had the 'not-so-good thoughts', and been forced to see pyschiatrists. I suppose that since I wasn't as willing to go, as others may have been, I didn't really take a whole lot from the sessions. The turning point sort of came when I realized that I had to be independant and search for the answers myself...and that is where other sufferes and their expierences came in. From other individuals you can see the possibilities, and you can quite easily prepare yourself for any horrible things that might come up (if at all related to CAH)....so definately, depression, saddness and everything that is just plain unfair, does have another side.
If you ever want to talk here's my email/msn...... anna_bryant89(at)hotmail.com
