I can't seem to find a support group in my neighborhood so I thought online group is better than nothing. I might change my username.

About me: I struggle with depression and anxiety. In November 2018 i actively began planning my suicide. Luckily I told one of my healthcare providers before following through and was immediately directed to and enrolled in a month long intensive outpatient program. After "graduating" the program I found a therapist who I see twice a week. It's been a struggle and I still question my existence at times, but at least knowing there are people who care (even if i don't know them well) makes a big difference.

Anxiety sucks. Depression sucks. But those are my life challenges so I'm trying to learn to live with the anxiety and combat the deeply depressive thoughts

Quite a bit better than nothing I should think. The site has helped a lot of people by sharing experiences and tips. We all help and support each other. x

Thank you. I've nothing against online support groups. I was in one several years ago. I guess I just wanted to be a able to connect to people face to face as well. :)

I thanks Sunni. I don't know why I'd want to change my username. I've never been satisfied with any of my past user names. Guess I'll keep it for the time being 🙂

I love this site. I used to write and vent in my journal bc I had no one to talk to and it helps getting it out in some way or another. And this site is like my own personal journal but this time people actually respond and is super helpful lol. I hope it helps you like it did for me!! Also feels good knowing that I’m not alone in what I am feeling (:

I love journaling. It's very therapeutic. But it is nice to have feedback on occasion
