Hi everyone my name's Rachel, I'm single female, I have been struggling for many years with dear I say..feelings of being quite down and feeling worthless also carrying feelings of guilt that I have no idea why, and a specific thought that pops into my head when life gets tough or a stressful event happens that I feel I can't fix or just feel overwhelmed and alone, there I said it! Today has been a good day for me just wanted to say hello everyone 👋🏻

Hey Rachel

Takes a lot of nerve to post our true feelings, so well done you! Welcome to the forums. You'll find this a friendly, non-judgemental space where you can chat with other folk who are finding things challenging in various ways, and we can all support each other.

Really glad you're having a good day. Is there anything in particular that makes it a good day, that you'd like to share? And what ways do you manage the not so good ones?

Again, welcome! Katy 🙂
