My short back story is </SPAN><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">I've had depression and anxiety for years. I'm in my early twenties now.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">My preteen and teenage years were awful, as many problems arised during this time.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">However now that I'm older and wiser I've made better decisions. I finished school a few years ago, and studied shortly after. I've been working as well for a few years now. I'm changing jobs though, but it's okay.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">I'm seeking professional help as well and I'm getting there. </SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">@ludwig, thanks for your music link suggestion. I will watch it soon. I don't mind classical music, I think it's cool. </SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">@whitewolfwarrior, yes I agree getting on the road to positive mental health is hard but really worth it. I'll keep pushing through and keep on trying. </SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">@geoff, thanks I will trust others with the forum, as it's a safe place. I will reach out to others as well. I've already done so. </SPAN></P> <P>Thanks so much everyone for replying to my post. I didn't expect four responses over night. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":grinning_face:">😀</span> </P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;"> </SPAN></P> Sat, 06 Apr 2019 21:27:43 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/my-short-introduction/m-p/422834#M21729 Childatheart 2019-04-06T21:27:43Z
