Hi everyone, I'm Saffy and I'm a prospective applicant for 2010.
I have a question for people with on here with a history of depression. I've had recurrinng depression on and off since 2004, but its pretty much settled (with one or two blips) in the past year, and I've learned lots of coping strategies, which includes talking to friends and family members. Part of the reason why I'm applying to JET is that I'll be with a group of people and so I won't just be by myself, plus I've lived away from home before for three years, so I'll have an easier time settling in. However, I'd just like to hear from other JET people about their experiences and how/if the big D has affected them while in Japan.
