Hopefull

was told that best way to get support is to give support.

ou may not feel up to replying to others but just read a few threads that interest you, and even saying Hello, you are not alone, I am feeling kike this, can help others.

No pressure read if you like and if you feel like it answer.

I found that knowing there were others like me experienced similar thoughts, helped me.

Post as often as you like?

Hi Hopefull_Angel,

I also suffer from depression, lost my job last year due to ill health and havent really seen my friends in over 3 years. Find it hard to get motivated most days. Also dealing with PTSD and Anxiety/Panic attacks.
I joined BB today aswell and have found reading peoples stories helpful in a way. Makes me realise im not the only one going through this and there is alot of people out there willing to help in anyway they can.
Stay strong,
Jeremy

Hi Hopefull_Angel,

Welcome to the community!

You'll find that we are all a friendly, supportive, non-judgemental bunch.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been going through all of that but I hope that posting on here will give you some comfort.

Anytime Hopefull_Angel 😁
Glad to hear your planning a trip out to the mall for some shopping that will be fun 😁
Id love to be able to get out and exercise more but find it hard most days to get the motivation. But as you say, babysteps.
