Um hey...so uh I'm new obviously and uh not sure what I should say. I just know that I need help in dealing. I've really been struggling with my depression which sa bit disheartening because I've been doing so well in coping with my anxiety. So yeah that's me right now.

Thank you...I hope so too. I'll apologize in advance I'm very awkward. I sort of struggle with talking to people I'm not familiar with. It makes me nervous and I either say too much or people think I don't like them.

Who cares what people think! Say what you want and as you want. Don’t worry about the judgment. Especially for non verbal one.

I think the apologizing has just become habit for me at this point.

Hi there! =) Welcome! Hoping you find help and healing here or somewhere. I know it is tough, and an uphill climb when you don't even have energy for another step without the climb. You will get thru it tho, I know. Here are some things that helped me in both D and A. I take magnesium and ginseng to calm my body, mind and soul. They also get rid of those sticky negative thoughts and feelings that get me down. Yes, they really work. There are so many things to help us on this earth. Also, I get outside, breathe deep in creation, touch the earth and look at the stars. That helps me remember the bigness of life and the constant faithfulness of it all. Also I meditate on wise words and stretch myself thru learning, art and groups like meetups, studies and classes. Anxiety is so much more a problem than it used to be, some of spiritual, some of it physical. <3 Lifting you up to the Maker for peace and joy!
