Hello! I'm new here! I'm 44 and have delt with anxiety and depression for most of my life. I didn't even know that was what I had for many years. I thought it was normal. I'm currently trying Cognitive behavioral therapy with a therapist and optimizing my nutrition and health. I'm looking forward to reading all the posts on here!

Welcome to the site. There are a lot of people here who are going through the same things.

Hi there, I find this site helpful when my anxiety is high.

Weeks or even months will go by and I will not feel the need to post but when I am really struggling it helps to share my thoughts with people who are struggling as well.

I hope you are doing ok and are enjoying these last days of summer.

I have lived with my anxiety disorder my entire life and it comes and goes. Not an easy life to live.

I am here if you want to share.

Thank you for the response! I'm happy I found this community. It's nice to know there are people who understand and I can talk too! I'm currently trying CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and my doctor has prescribed Buspirone twice daily. I'm not familiar with this anxiety medication, but I hope it helps!

I hope it helps as well! CBT is great and helpful to get you to see the dysfunctional thought processes that are often associated with anxiety disorders.
