Hey, I’m new to the forum

Hey, I’m new to the forum

A little about myself, I suffer from anxiety and depression and as far back as I can

remember I have been dealing with it.

I didn’t know what was wrong I just

didn't fit in anything and became very

nervous in crowds of people. It was

so bad that I actually thought I was going

to have a heart attack. I started talking

medication a couple of years ago.

I’m fine at the moment but I do often

get bored and sometimes need someone

to talk to who understand the changes

we often go through.

Hi @comingup18 nice to meet you and welcome to the forum

You have definitely come to the right place to be abe to talk about anxiety and depression and connect with others going through similar things.

There is an Introduce Yourself thread here where you can let us know a bit more about yourself and where others are more likely to find and connect with you.

If you have any questions on getting around the forum or how things work here then please feel free to tag me by using the @symbol then my name (it should come up in a drop down box once you type the first couple of letters) and I will do my best to help you out.

Again welcome to the forum and I hope you find it the caring, compassionate and supportive place that I do

I too have depression and anxiety. Although the anxiety has reduced to low levels that I can manage.

I wonder whether you work or go to school or volunteer to help with boredom.

I do Sodoku puzzles or play solitaire. And chat on the Forum here.

Welcome.

with all the adjustment of life.

Hello @comingup18

Volunteering can be a great way of life.

Adjustments can be tricky.
