Hello all

[SkiDiver18]

First time poster and just wanted to introduce myself.

Been actively suffering from anxiety and depression for a month and half now. Currently talking to a therapist and am on medication to combat this. Want to get past this and on with my life.

I find what has really been helping me is journaling and forcing myself into new experiences and reaquianting myself with old passions.

It seems to have been working but the past few days have been really tough. Hoping I can find and give inspiration in this support group.

I'm there with you. I've had one session so far and am working on figuring out the right meds for me.

I would say that within the first week of my medication that my symptoms of anxiety that I never even knew were linked (headaches, nausea, dizziness) went away. I know that's not the case with everyone and my anxiety and depression tends to be cyclical, but I do wish you the best.

I have found that the real work and healing is done on your own. Therapy gives you tools and medication gives you time.

"reacquainting myself with old passions" That is brilliant. Keep doing that. Give yourself that gift.
