New to the support system

Frenchielover72 profile image

Hello everyone. I am new here. My best girlfriend made me promise to search out a support group. I have anxiety and depression that I have struggled with for years. The past 2 years have been especially difficult due to the loss of my marriage after almost 30 years.

Welcome to group! Here you'll find support and advice when and if you need it. Along with encouragement and ways to help cope better. Or just an ear for listening cause sometimes we don't want advice, we just want to vent. You are free to do that here. Good on you for reaching out! It's okay to ask for help 🫂❤️

Welcome to a caring supportive community of people who understand.

The ups and downs you experience can be bipolar but I am not a doctor.

Are you on medication or having therapy? I'm glad you are with us :) xx

I am taking Cymbalta, Lamictal and Trazodone with ativan as needed for anxiety. I am not a doctor, just a nurse who thinks she knows it all. Lol!
