Introducing myself

[survivorspirit]

I have been very leery of social media until I found this website. It was recommended as one of the best by a friend. My profile says it all. At 74 I thought I could rest. It appears not. Not only does my 48-year-old daughter show anxiety symptoms she isn't dealing with, but my wife, ACOA and abuse survivor, periodically show issues. I have to keep setting and re-setting boundaries.

I became an at-risk counselor for adolescents until I literally burned out. Now retired, I garden, art therapy, keep a mindfulness journal, and meditate, My lineage is a witch's brew of DNA going back at least three generations that I could find. Look forward to posting. 🫲👌

Thank you I appreciate the welcome. I went to a discussion group on depression from another site and was overwhelmed by the unmonitored (seemingly) chats and replies. This one looks like it provides the structure I need. Replies to my first post have been warm and inviting. Thanks again

Hi! Hopefully you'll find sharing worries online easier than face to face - certainly I cherish the wonderful people on this site and their caring and helpful advice. It sounds as though you have the knowledge and wisdom to help us too. Best of luck!

It took me awhile not to be the type to brave it alone. Sharing with others, listening and learning as I go, that's what we all need. Thanks again
