I’m back!

Hi everyone! I have been gone for about a year or so. I’ve had a difficult time and could use the support of friends who truly understand what life is like for people who are going through similar situations. I’m tired of just existing but not living the life I know I deserve.

I’ve lost a lot of family and friends and I have to get back into the world!🌎

I’m a good listener, I give good advice, but I’d like to make some awesome friends here that would do the same for me.

Looking forward to a new adventure and new friends to share with.

Much love and peace to all! 🩵☮️

Welcome back

I'm so sorry to read about your losses. Sounds like you have been through alot

I read your bio. I was drawn to your explanation of verbal abuse as it is how I always describe it. Words can cut like a knife. Once they come out the damage is down. Sometimes the wound doesn't heal as quickly as a physical hit.

Sending you peace as well.

Hi Dolphin!! Thanks for writing and apparently you seem to understand what it’s like. No, the wounds definitely don’t heal as quickly as the physical hit. You hit the nail on the head on that one!!

Hope we can talk more! Thanks for understanding!

Up and down.

This year I had 2 major car mechanical breakdowns, and caught COVID for the first time, and still dealing with some long COVID afterwards that's not playing well with my Severe GAD.

.

But.. I'm trying my best to hang in there.

This group (as usual) has been very supportive to me, (as well as others here) and I'm grateful for that. :)

.

It's good to see you back. :)

Hi Dusty it is nice to have you here. It does make all the difference in the world to talk with people who also have depression and anxiety.

Dusty-20016 in reply to gajh

Thanks so much! Talking to people who can relate to you is so much easier than trying to explain yourself to a friend or family member who wants to help but just doesn’t get it! It’s nice to have a group like this. Looking forward to talking with you!

What happened recently that brought you back here? Do you want to talk about it? I have been here since July. I can't even imagine leaving. I am here every day.

I e just had a rough couple of years with my health. Nothing life threatening, but A LOT of things happening one after another and they aren’t minor. I’ll tell you about it but not right now. I’m in a bad head space.

Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. I’m glad I came back. I didn’t realize how much I needed it. Maybe we could chat a little bit later if you’re up to it?

Hi Diane, welcome back. I've been here a few months and have learned a lot about this illness we all seem to battle with. It's nice to know we are not alone and that we can talk to someone who actually gets it instead of being told to "cheer up" or "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" and other toxic positivity statements. People without anxiety/depression just don't get it. Have a good day.

Thanks! It’s good to be back. I forgot how great this community of people can be. It’s true. People who don’t understand us or are uncomfortable tend to say the wrong things or hurtful things. It’s nice to know we have each other to rely on.
