Just wanted to introduce myself...

Hello!

I just wanted to say that I am really glad that I found this group. I won’t go into all the gory details of my struggles with my mental health challenges. However, it has been a long road for me because I have struggled with anxiety and depression ever since I was a child, but I didn’t get diagnosed and treated until I turned 18 (when I also got admitted to a clinic to treat my eating disorder). Although I consider myself fully recovered from my eating disorder, I still struggle everyday with my anxiety and depression. This is the first time that I have reached out to other peers about my anxiety. By reaching out, I am hoping that I can meet and learn from folks who are struggling with similar issues.

Hi! I have struggled with anxiety and depression since I was a child as well - before I could recognize what it was. I wasn’t clinically diagnosed until 2014 when I was 26.

Welcome!!!
