hello, i'm new here...

and i'm stressed and anxious and depressed and all those fun things, and back in therapy after 10 years w/o that i REALLY should have been under care. i'm very bad at making myself actually say what is wrong with me/bothering me until it reaches the absolute tipping point, as i have difficulty confiding even in the friends i trust bc i don't want to worry/bother them, but i'm hoping being here will help? i don't know. i'm here, y'all are here, i will try to be helpful in any comments i make to others and hopefully figure some stuff out too. it's been very hard for me to start getting back on track, so i'm really hoping that taking this step will help.

I'm going out of my mind. I feel like the rest of you who had negative comments. This does no good. Hugs do no good. Prayers do no good. What can we do? Am taking meds, belong to a support group, am using something new, a Fisher Wallace Brain Stimulator, see a therapist ----- and still the black cloud of depression just attached itself to me and goes wherever I go.
