Newbie

Happy weekend everyone 🙂


I am a newbie who has had obsessional anxiety - often daily (I don't always know why and it is hard to control) and depression in bouts for 34 years. I would love to chat with others with either or both issues.

I have also had substance abuse issues (self-medicating) for about 27 years, but that is finally being addressed and today is day 18 of no substances after spending 13 days in a residential/medical detox facility.

I look forward to having supportive conversations with others. Have a fab day 🙂
