Just taking that first step.

Taking that step here - I just joined today at the recommendation of my therapist. I'm a lifetime member of the depression/anxiety club, and typically cope and/or survive with sarcasm or laughter, or I just shut down. I'm tired, but I'm trying. I'm actually a "glass half full" type and see the beauty in things. But I've been in my house working since March 17th. It's hard to find beauty when you miss spring and summer, and next week is September. Wow.

So, I've taken the first step. I've joined. I've even put a post saying "I'm new here...." I'd like to say I hope I don't find others who feel they way I can feel; I don't wish bad things on people. But that's not reality, right? We are here because we do have anxiety and we do have depression. But, we're trying to cope and be helpful to each other.

Nice to meet you all. Let's heal, together.
