Tired of this illness

[knh3]

I hate suffering from anxiety and now recently the depression that comes a long with it. I feel so alone, feel like ppl that I have called friends have only talked to me only on their terms, and I am tired of feeling this way. Are there any blogs, or online groups I can join in addition to this one?

Hi knh3! I’m very sorry that you’re in pain, but glad that you reached out here😌. I just joined this forum yesterday or the day before. It’s the first time I’ve ever joined anything like this and so far I have gotten quite a bit of encouragement and comfort from the people here. I don’t really know any similar forums to recommend, but I know just browsing around earlier I saw one website/online forum people mentioned a couple of times. I wish I could remember what it was! Anyway, I have been depressed for so so long, that I have never known any other way of life/state of mind. I’m sorry I cannot be of much help. Please know that we DO understand what you are going through, and you can be very open here. If you ever need to talk or vent please don’t hesitate to PM me. Also I just wanted to assure in the meantime you that you WILL get more responses...Really. People here DO care, I promise. Just give it a little time. I have learned that for more seasoned members,it seems they respond to whomever is an immediate and severe, maybe dangerous place first... so please don’t feel you are being ignored. One other thing – please know that you don’t have to downplay things if you’re really not doing well. We are here. Thank you for posting❤️
