Hi Little_Deer 😊

Had to say hello when I read your hobbies! Just resurrected an older thread on body image and would love your input if that is something you feel like sharing. There are a few members struggling at the moment with that.

This seems like a good place to share a little about myself.

Age:47

Gender: Female

Live: NSW on the coast

Favourite Colour: Purple

I have five kids and two grandkids. I enjoy reading.

I have anxiety and depression. Depression started around 14 and I have had recurring bouts ever since. Anxiety seems to have been more prevalent now my depression is better and more recent, however when I think back I think I had anxiety as a child. Sometimes I am very proud of myself for surviving so long and other times I am so tired of dealing with it because it is so exhausting.
