New here

[Sosh2018]

Hi everyone, I am new here. I have been struggling with severe Depression for most of my life, and also recently was diagnosed with complex PTSD, which is believed to have been there since I was a kid. I have not been doing very well, over the years i have been on several different medications, and so far none of them have been able to help me. I am getting ready to start therapy soon, and hopefully that will help even a little bit. I currently feel out-of-control with anxiety and not only because of these conditions do I severely struggle with working at my current job, but also because of very painful conditions in my digestive system.

Hi Sosh, welcome to the group. I've found a lot of support and comfort here, as well as suggestions for understanding and addressing my anxiety and depression. There are some audio recordings of a doctor named Claire Weekes that you can find on YouTube. She did a lot of work with people suffering from anxiety and I've found listening to her talks helpful. I know others read her books as well.

Hello there, thank you for the suggestion I will have to look her up.
