I'm new here

I'm new to this, and that also includes being vocal about my issues with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Hi and welcome. I hope you find that talking about your issues does help relieve some of the burden.

Everyone here is going through some sort of battle. It helps to know that you are not the only one who has to deal with depression, anxiety, and stress. There is a lot of caring people on this site. Also lots of good coping advice.

I hope you continue to post, and I hope it helps you as much as it has me.

Well wishes.

You have come to a good place. We have all been through the despair, ups and downs. We can all grow from each other’s experiences. Welcome.

Thanks! I hope to finally stick with it.

Welcome. You've come to the right place. I find that writing down how I'm feeling can be very therapeutic. We're all in this together and you'll soon realize that you are not alone. Peace and best wishes to you.

Thanks for the advice. I have tried to write, then I just stare at the paper, screen, notebook, or whatever I have available at the moment. Then I feel anxious that what I’m writing is going to be uninteresting. I need to get out of my head and put my thoughts on paper. I am slowly trying to only listen to positive thoughts in my head and it’s kinda working.
