Hi there I'm new to all this online support stuff I've struggled with anxiety and depression since I was 9 I am now 28. I'm on medication and I see a therapist once a week but its hard I worry about so many things all the time. Health anxiety is a big fear of mine along with just anxieties of like am I going to get from my job out of the blue or if my house going to burn down. I just think it would be nice to hear from others who struggled day in and day how but keep pushing forward in their fight with anxiety and depression.

Twitch7119.... Welcome new friend. I am so glad you are here with us as we learn fromsharing each other's experiences. As someone who had Anxiety/Agoraphobia for 30 years,
I can tell you that fighting the symptoms was not the answer. I too was on Medication and
Therapy which still was not the complete answer but only a crutch to get where I am today.
Anxiety under control.
There is no magic wand but there is a "key" to healing and getting your life back.
So much to tell you that I don't want to overwhelm you on the first night. Keep coming back
to this safe forum. We are a virtual family of friends who support each other in our time of
need because we care and we understand. xx
I wish you could share any key solutions with me for my cousin. She is 35 years struggling with anxiety
I would guess a lot of hers is situational
She has not had an easy life through no fault of her own.
I feel of no use 'cos anxiety is not one of my issues.
Any helpful hints l could pass on would be much appreciated.
Apologies Twitch7119 for cutting in on your post.
Welcome to the forum.
I am simply delighted to discover someone got a handle on anxiety.
I struggle with social anxiety. Makes it really difficult to do the jobs that I want to do and of course now I am nervous won't get something else. Also new here, but happy to know that such a support platform exists. Wish you well on your day to day journey
New here also, but it's nice to have someone else to talk with. Take care
My mind like to worry at times too. When that happens I try to give my worries to God - through prayer. I know I can trust Him to lift the burdens off of me - in time I stop worrying. Even if something happens - I know He will be there with me. I like to study passages in the Bible on worry - it really helps. So does listening to Encouraging music on Christian radio - like KLOVE radio. God Bless!
