Nothing to be sorry for Dman!. My attempts at humor are sometimes epic fails. Again, welcome! You will find many people here that provide great support and advice. I sometimes provide advice but it may also at times be as bad as my attempts at humor lol

I am good, keeping busy watching tv, responding to posts on here and cooking, household chores, keeping busy. Keeping busy helps keep anxiety at bay.

Hello, my name is Mary Jo but I go by Jo. Where are you from? I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I’m 59 years young. I would love to talk to you and I’m a very good listener.

Hello, what are your simptoms of depresion and anxiety?

[Hope4me1 in reply to Angry101]

Hello Angry101, I, too am 59 and going through a rough patch right now. I am trying to be positive and working on quieting my thoughts. Sometimes especially at night I wake and it can be a lonely time. It’s great to know there is some positive energy here.

[Angry101 in reply to Hope4me1]

Hope, there is a lot of positive energy here. I hope you can catch some. I think sometimes our thinking about things can either help us or hurt us. When I’m depressed my thoughts turn to anger. I think my anxiety triggers my depression. I don’t know why I get angry, but I do. I become intolerant of anyone. I stay in my room for ever how long the depression lasts. It’s not a way to live but I have actually come to a place I can live with it. To me it’s like beating a dead horse, I’m never going to completely get rid of this stigma. I am resolved, and I will not become a victim, instead I will be the victor. Thanks for texting me back. I don’t have a lot of people that talk to me. Once in a while one of my peeps will say hello. Please text me back, if you want to talk. I’m still a very good listener. God bless you my friend.

It’s ok to get angry. I have the opposite problem and push my anger down. I don’t quite know how to express it. Thus my anxiety. We all have our coping mechanisms. I have to learn to stand up for myself and take care of me. I try to stay positive and be thankful, not wallow in my problems. I try to incorporate my faith and use affirmations that my Nana taught me when I was younger. Going through a set back right now and trying to only see the good in life and be in the mend. I wish you well and may God bless you also❤️🙏🏼

I’m sort of OK. I’m not really OK right now, but I’ve been worse.
