New guy here it goes...

Hello everyone,

My name is Ryan. I'm 33 years old and new to this community. There isn't much else to say about me. I have a hard time with things like this. And I'm pretty sure I know why. Everyday it feels as though I get intrusive thoughts about my current situation. I recently took a screening online for anxiety, depression, and ptsd and aced them all! (sad attempt at a joke sorry) It gets hard for me to focus on things, from my girlfriend talking to me about important things to spacing out in front of a tv somehow. It almost feels like I've become listless or catatonic for brief but frequent times. Then when I snap to I start to feel like such a jerk for not being able to pay attention. I call it the two punch combo of anxiety and depression. Anyways that's me in a nutshell. Go easy on me.

Sorry to hear about what you are going through. Sucks! Have you been to a doctor?

Have not seen anyone for years. I’ve been purusing around for a place close by though.

Welcome! I’m sure you will find many people here can relate and this is a place where you can be open about how and what you are feeling and won’t be judged. Well you took a big leap in posting here so hopefully you will continue to try and figure out what you need to do to get through this and in a better place. Good luck.
