New here

hi everyone 🙂
I am new here so I thought I'd try and create a thread.
I am 23, and a long time sufferer of anxiety and severe depression. I've been having a really rough time over the last few weeks and I'm really happy to have found these sane forums.
I'm interested to chat with anyone and everyone! but also particularly interested in talking to others my age and how they cope with depression/anxiety.

Cheers,
melbournegirl

Re: New here

i'm sorry to hear that you've lost joy in things you used to enjoy @outlander, drawing and scenic drives with music sound like very relaxing activities so I am glad you are still able to enjoy those two things sometimes.
