Just dropping bye to say high! I've been living with depression and anxiety for most of my life possibly triggered by PTSD. Whatever, I'm pretty stable these days. After 25 years of on again off again treatment I've finally settled into a life of solitude working in country Victoria as an artist. OK, so I'm a slow learner! Better late than never though! Love a chat if anyone is up for one.

Hey @BlueBayou1 ,
I'm up for a chat. I love the energy you bring to the forums.
It's great to see you here on the forums.
I also had depression for many years. Nowadays, I feel like I'm making up for all the lost time during depression. I love life - every moment of it.
Id be interested to hear about more of your journey.
