Hi I'm new to site but am hoping to read your posts and share my feelings at times I've suffered anxiety and depression for years I was diagnosed once as clinically depressed I never asked what that means I just accepted the label as I was thinking I was pschisophrenic

HI Kazza and welcome. We are a great bunch here and always willing to help, with any anxiety related problems, we can give some great advice bar medical as we are not qualified x Yes read some posts, and share your feelings when you are ready no rush. It can be very daunting when suffering from anxiety/depression but you have found a place you can feel welcome and share in this daily battle x I am not to sure on the wording clinical depression, however I do feel we are not labelled here we are just individuals in a battle x Donver xx

Hi Kazza,

My advice is to take one day at a time and to try and live as much as possible in the moment. I know that this is difficult and sometimes we have to plan ahead but try and appreciate each little thing. I'm not sure whether mental health is herediatry or not but if so this is not your fault we can not help what we pass on in our genes.

hope your having a good day.

MR

hello Kazza,

Welcome to the site.

I have found this site a great help with my anxiety and depression. Sometimes it just helps to reply to others to know you are not alone.

Look forward to hearing more from you.

All us anxiety sufferers experience depression and sleeplessness...goes with the condition. It does get better though so just bear with it. The only thing I've found that helped (despite taking meds.) was Zen Buddhism which is not a religion - just a philosophy on acceptance. Accept the worse you feel and the consequences and it actually disempowers what you're most afraid of.
