I have had depression over the last year but I am pulling through with the support of family and friends and its almost gone away. I feel a heavy weight has been finally lifted So there is hope. Its ok to have days where you do nothing.

I just can't understand why Linda would want Owen back after he stopped her seeing the girls. Could she be playing him or is she as nice as she seems? :searchme:

Maybe they never stopped loving each other ... Linda could have felt guilty as she was the one that had the affair so can understand why Owen would not let her see the girls .. I think the only thing she had to forgive him for was for telling them lies that she left because of Izzy's illness but that has now been clarified ...

Many of us regulars here suffer, or have suffered, from depression so you're not alone.

I feel exactly the same! I forgot to mention in my post but I'm one of the depression sufferers. SoapBoards and its members have brightened my day many, many times. :)

Its a terrible illness and unless you have suffered from it its hard to understand. I suffer from very bad bouts of PTSD from time to time but i try not to use any medication if possible
