2020 is a very challenging year for everyone. I share the same issues as many others and are seeking an outlet to give and get support. My anxiety, stress, depression, and fear of rejection has been present for years but has escalated due to loss of employment, Covid 19 isolation, being a caregiver to my bed bound mother loss of friendships, and unsure of the future.
I'm seeking a place where I can post my negative thoughts and feeling I am not alone.
Welcome BKLYNr, you've just found a safe place to come to where you can share your negative feelings and not feel so alone. (because you're not)
This is a time where we all need that extra compassion and understanding with all that's going on.
I'm glad you reached out to us and look forward to you meeting all of us as you respond to other's posts. The interaction is a learning experience to say the least. But what really helps is not feeling rejected. I'm glad you are here.

Welcome to the forum. You will find a lot of caring and supportive people here.
Welcome.
I've never had a place where I could talk about depression before this group. Most people don't want to hear about it. And I've never had a friend that had lifelong depression that could really understand.
Hi and welcome! We are a very supportive group. I hope you find the support you need!
Hi there. I'm sorry you are struggling. You are not alone. I hope you can find support and encouragement through this community.

It sounds like we are all here for each other.
Welcome to you!
Thanks. This place has been a goldmine for support already!
