Hello everyone,

I am new! I am not able to find sufficient support from the people around and my depression and anxiety has gone worse this week... I turn to this forum to find help and support. There seems to be lots of resources here. I should totoally spend some times to go through them. Hope you will accept me! Thank you!

Hi and welcome to the forums.

This is a peer support based forums, so we are like you, also on this mental health journey. We accept all who want to discuss mental health, gain support or give support. Just be weary there are some forum rules to keep everyone safe and happy (e.g. no drug names, but saying antidepressants is ok, just not specific one if that makes sense, we want to leave that stuff to the professionals). There is a thread on the rules if you want to read them.

Glad to have you here. I myself also have anxiety and depression. I go through rough patches as well and it can be frustrating when people around you don't seem to get it. Sometimes I get envious of that fact because it means they don't have to deal with it.

Hi there,

I too am new, and have decided to finally dive into the forums here after having trouble finding support from those around me - although they do at least try. I am having difficulty coping at the moment also hope connecting on these forums may help (though I tend to be more of a lurker type 🙂

I hope you find the support you're looking for here, and the resources helpful.

Hi Nick, thank you for your response! Yes I have a lot to tell. I am ready to try out how supportive is this place! 🙂 in fact I am a little desperate... I just want some support and love...

Yes... I hate having to deal with questions like what has been bothering you? What have you been thinking? What do you think how you can overcome this? Do you think you want to get rid of medicine one day? Why do you think that much? Can you walk out of this yourself? Be a bit stronger. And I hate some people are like I care about you. I try to support when I can (but I was just too busy when you were feeling terrible and sorry I couldn’t do more). When help is not really helpful and it becomes a burden is really frustrating....
