Today I joined your forums. On the weekend I saw some posters in a public bathroom that hugely stuck a cord with me - about anxiety. The posters gave an insight to exactly what goes on in my mind everyday. It made me feel normal. As I write this I am crying. I read on your website today about the statistics of how many of the population live with anxiety. I actually find it difficult to believe as I have felt alone and abnormal for a long time. Thank you to everyone who makes Beyondblue happen. I see Beyondblue becoming part of my life.

Thank you Beyondblue

Hi Mel P,

I’m a little late to join in on the welcome but better late than never.

I wanted to comment because I have seen those exact, same BeyondBlue anxiety posters in public bathrooms too.

I hear you distress and just wanted to know you’re most welcome here. There’s a lot of understanding and kindness here.

Pepper

Thank you Beyondblue
