Hii. I'm new here. Dealing with depression and anxiety. I'm hoping to find people to talk to who are going through the same.

I hope you're all doing well today and if not I'm sending you love. You're not alone ❤

Hi phoenixx, joined this site yesterday. Supporting (or trying to support) my wife who has depression and anxiety. It has its ups and its downs. Hoping for a good day today. I have already posted with my story, I can offer some advice but it's from a partner's perspective.

Hi Phoenix,

You're not alone. Here with depression and anxiety, too. I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping to get to know some people also. My therapist has recommended trying this, so here I am.

Here for you, too!

Hi! Nice to meet you-I am also struggling with depression and anxiety-somewhat situational in this case, but very painful nonetheless. I am so glad we have each other on here, as often it seem like actual family may at times not want to deal with it, or there are misunderstandings. Looking forward to getting to know you a bit.

Hi LetsTalk and gemma339. I agree, family members have difficulty understanding even when they want to help. It's good to have a place where you can meet so many people who do get it and you realize that you're not the only one feeling this way, which I think is easy to forget sometimes.

gemma339 05/23/2017

Good point Phoenixx! Let's connect soon, and if you want to share some of the things you are going through, I have a good listening ear...or two! ha...Take care, and much love...
