Pooh! Silly old bear! You're so welcome here. No heffalumps about.

[WinniethePooh12 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Hahaha, I liked that. I needed that to

[Starrlight]

Hi We are here to listen. Where do you think the nervousness and scary feelings are stemming from? Or do you want to talk about something else, maybe?

[WinniethePooh12 in reply to Starrlight]

I'm nervous because I'm new here and not exactly sure what I'm doing.

[Starrlight in reply to WinniethePooh12]

Oh ok that makes sense but you’ll feel fine in no time. It’s easy to be here ... to be loved here and listened to.

[WinniethePooh12 in reply to Starrlight]

Oh, ok. I hope so.

[Starrlight in reply to WinniethePooh12]

Thank you 🙏 😊 how are you doing?

[WinniethePooh12 in reply to Starrlight]

Very depressed and anxious. Going through a lot right now. Feeling very alone even though I live with my parents and have family near by.

[Starrlight in reply to WinniethePooh12]

I hear ya. Hopefully you can share things here that you may not get to share out there. Do your family abd friends know you are going through the depression and anxiety?

[WinniethePooh12 in reply to Starrlight]

Friends do but family ? Maybe a little bit.

Hi Winnie, Welcome to your forum. First timers often feel anxiety. This is your safe place to put feelings into words, ask questions and receive support from the members who have lived experience of mental health conditions and the healthcare systems. There are so many people who are kind and have knowledge about the struggles we face. You only need to contribute as much as feels comfortable. We have members from all over the world so there is probably someone available to reply to a post 24/7. Kind regards from me in Australia 🦘

[WinniethePooh12 in reply to Windsorgardener5087]

Thank you. That means a lot.

[WinniethePooh12]

Thank you.

[Nothing_but_books]

Well... Here and there a few clunkers, but best to ignore them. Overall we have a wonderful forum with kind members. Welcome again Winnie!

I struggle everyday with anxiety, depression and mental illness. It's very hard. I get overwhelmed a lot.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to WinniethePooh12]

I know how hard it is. Me too! I hope you find some peace and acceptance here.

Write me any time you want to talk about it.

Or we can talk about fun things if you're in the mood to distract yourself. I guess you can tell I'm a big Pooh fan also. I hate to admit it, but Eeyore is my favorite!

“Eeyore", said Owl, "Christopher Robin is giving a party."

"Very interesting," said Eeyore. "I suppose they will be sending me down the odd bits which got trodden on. Kind and thoughtful. Not at all, don't mention it."

[WinniethePooh12 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

I like Eeyore to. I would love to talk to you about it, but I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say and what I'm not allowed to say.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to WinniethePooh12]

I've sent you a PM.

Welcome. Feel free to post whenever you feel the need-it helps.

[WinniethePooh12 in reply to RemySue]

Ok I will.
