Hello everyone,

I'm new to this website, and I'm so glad I have found it. I'm looking forward to meeting people who suffer from the same conditions as me.

I'm 28 years old and have had anxiety and depression since age 7. I was diagnosed with PTSD about 2 years ago as well. For the most part, I cope with my conditions fairly well, but there are days I just can't keep it together. I have a husband and two stepdaughters (and some pets!), but no actual friends. I'm looking to make some friends here for support! I've always had trouble making and keeping friends unfortunately.

Looking forward to hearing from yall!

Hey! welcome to the forum. It's a great community to be a part of. Lots of lovely people to talk to and support to go around. I've always had trouble making and keeping friendships as well. It's never an easy thing to do, but an online forum like this one certainly can make it easier.

That means a lot! I've been a nurse for about 9 years and I can say that it's what has kept me going all these years. Taking care of others makes me feel good.
