Thu, 18 Feb 2021 03:19:20 GMT Arabesque 2021-02-18T03:19:20Z Hello https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hello/m-p/538444#M30105 Hello everyone. I have just joined the forum. I have been living with PTSD, anxiety disorders, and depression for a while. I have had mixed success with counsellors, and a recent disappointing experience with my current one has probably been the impetus to come here. I feel the need to connect with a forum where I can feel safe and supported, with understanding and without platitudes!

Yes connecting with people who understand is also the reason I've joined this forum. I have anxiety, contamination fears and ocd. The list of my anxiety triggers has been growing longer and longer. I've been struggling to find suitable treatment so I understand how you feel.
