M30 HTH IF STT Available if you need someone to talk to.

Hi there. About a month ago I was looking for some strangers to talk to, so that I can take a bit of the load off.

Why I was doing that: I moved from my homecountry for studying/working, and the holidays pressure hit me the most in January. You usually can count on your family to have someone to transfer your thoughts onto, but at times you don't want to disturb the people that will worry too much for you.

So what I ended up doing was that I started to keep a journal, I made daily recordings, every evening for about 2 weeks. 10-15min each time. That helped a lot. I managed to get myself in working order so my negative thoughts didn't impact so gravely my days.

Now I feel much better, I go to the gym again, I smile, and feel better. I almost got to the point of going to the doctor to ask for pills, but the diary part really helped. Maybe it's the season, I live in France now, and maybe because the days are short that my depression kicked in high gear.

So, if you're feeling down and you need to speak to someone, message me. I'm on skype, and hangouts. Maybe kik also, haven't tried to open an account there yet.

I speak English and French .
