New to the group

[Net01]

Hi, I've just joined this group. I'm currently taking citalopram to hopefully help with my depression and anxiety. I'm finding some days are very hard but I'm trying my hardest for my family.

hi,

i'm also new to the group

i've been here less than a day but have already found it so helpful and heartwarming to see other people who deal with similar issues

i too have depression and anxiety and it is horrible

just know you are not alone and you have a whole community of people here who understand

i hope you have a good day, you can reach out whenever

remember you're doing your best and that's amazing

Hi, I agree it's nice to be able to speak to others who are in the same or similar position. Its is very hard, some days are worse than others & sometimes I feel it helps to speak to others that aren't family as I feel I am burdening them with my problems even though they are always there if I need them.

[sachoo in reply to Net01]

i get that

i feel i am constantly burdening my friends and family with my problems, so i tend to keep my thoughts to myself

it is so nice to talk to people who understand and who respond/interact with you out of the kindness of their hearts, and not because they are obligated to because they're family or friends

if you ever need to talk, i'm here

I am new as well, I’m glad we have found this support group and can support each other together. Anxiety is definitely a daily challenge. I have found walking and guided meditation on some YouTube channels to be helpful.

onebreath, my "go to" is also YouTube.

I've been doing meditation and deep breathing for years

and it has proven to be the "key" to success for me. Along

with "Acceptance" of anxiety. I'm glad to see you here with

us. We learn together as we share our journey. xx

Thank you for the kind reply. You are right, it is definitely a journey, one I am ready to share now. Thank you.

I joined yesterday and I already feel like I’m not alone in this terrible journey. People give the best tips and they’re so nice. We’ve all gone through the same things. If you need to talk, I’m here as well (:
