Hi there. I'm pretty new to DS. I joined a week or two ago and have been mostly lurking, although I have managed to write a few comments and even hack out some journal entries, which is major for me considering the fact that I haven't written leisurely for a very long time. Already people have sent me a couple hugs and messages, which means a lot to me. I've just started professional treatment for depression and anxiety, and I've never sought help before recently, so this is all new to me. I was excited to find this website, and even though I've been lurking around enough to notice all the drama going on lately, I'm still optimistic that this place will be a big help.
And that's my quick little intro! I've been trying to get up the nerve to write it ever since joining DS, haha. I'm still not totally comfortable talking about my problems, but I know that it would help a lot of I could reach that level of comfort. Thanks for reading.

WELCOME!!! I've been on here for a few months now, and started my treatment for severe depression and anxiety as well. If you avoid the drama, it really is a great place. That's what I do, and I've found some amazing people who are just willing to listen and not make judgments. If you ever want to talk, I'll be here. Good luck getting started and I hope you find this to be an enjoyable experience. (((UBER HUG!!!!)))

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
