Driven to the verge of insanity.

[JMO156]

This all started about a year ago.
I always seem to be getting depressed for no apparent reason here, I try to keep myself happy; trying to keep my mind off sadness but usually just end up crying and sad.
I feel I have no life because I do not go out anywhere really. This links in with traumatic experiences in my life which I would rather not elaborate on.
I would really want to be able to broaden my horizons and go out places without worry. I just feel powerless though...
I live in a part of the UK where there is alot of crime and Violence so I am very wary of people...
I have been given good news that I can move to Finland to be with my girlfriend next year though. But waiting and feeling lonely is killing me whilst I am here...Anyone can suggest how to build my self confidence would be greatly appreciated, I am sick of feeling like I am under house arrest all the time!!

I'm sorry to hear this.
It's very easy to understand that your grief and misery may be linked to the traumatic experiences you've mentioned that have occured beforehand.

I advise you seek a counselor to confide in or possibly talking to a close family member, friend or your girlfriend could help the matter a lot. Speaking up about depression is one step forward and a burden decreased and made less oppressive.

I know it may feel frustrating waiting all year to move to Finland but time will slip away and will come around before you know it. Try to hang in there.

Finland? Maybe you should buy a pith helmet! lol
Well you could try doing some martial arts most of them encourage self confidence, and it would get you out of the house.
