Welcome. Everyone is a friend regardless of our struggles. Sometimes we need nothing more than a hug sent (from me

it is from Australia 🐨). Other times it's a kind word of encouragement or words of wisdom to solve a problem in a safe place

Hello, and welcome to this HealthUnlocked community, Perriex. The folks here are a kind, compassionate, supportive bunch; I'm sure you'll find lots of friends here, who can understand and relate to what you're experiencing. So many are coping with heightened anxiety these days.

Only those of us that suffer can truly understand the despair.

I hope we find respite soon too.

Thank you.♡

I’m new, too.

The much used saying, with reference to the coronavirus is We’re All In This Together.

This community sounds just like that!

Welcome Perriex,

I just joined last week; I also have suffered from moderate clinical depression for years; maybe the last 25 years or so? It is terrible feeling trapped; immobilized by fears, sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, apathy, etc. I hope you will find support here and let us know how you are doing.

Immobilized! That's exactly how I've been feeling!

Thank you so much. ♡

I completed understand. It is hard to get moving when depression overcomes you. Sometimes I'll tell myself that if I only get 50% of my to-do list done each day, I'm doing well (I'm retired, so have plenty of time to get my daily chores, errands, etc. done). I am working on not expecting perfection from myself anymore.

Yes!! You know, I've always been a low-energy person (trying to avoid the "l" word [lazy]).... so I was shocked when one of my friends told me I was a perfectionist. Me? How could that be?? Then I read that a perfectionist will often be non-productive because they don't want to do anything unless it will end up perfect! Blew my mind!

Most people have these days I e been through ALot recently and have turned a corner mentally and physically but it's natural to have anxiety and depression at times I am learning just to cope day to day and just because your not always smiling and happy doesn't mean your abnormal,lots of lovely people on here,u take are and hope you get some good advice xx
