Which of the beyond blue articles has spoken to you and how have you used it as a starting point to help yourself? 🙂

Dear Dontpaintbynumbers~

I can't give you a complete answer to this, there is simply too much here and people get value from different things. When I first came to Beyond Blue my illness (PTSD, Anxiety, bouts of Depression) had been ongoing for many years, so I can't say anything actually got me started, thought they certainly have been an influence and changed what I do.

The following 3 areas on the website helped me see treatments and things I could so myself in a realistic manner.

What works for Anxiety:

What Works for Depression:

and AGrace's thread:
Forums / Anxiety / SELF HELP TIPS FOR MANAGING ANXIETY

Even right at the start if a person has an illnesses such as these then getting an overall view of what is likely to be of help is a great resource, and can then be a topic of discussion with one's doctor.

Was there anything in particular you are looking for?

dontpaintbynumbers,

Welcome to the forum.

Croix has given you a very detailed answer.

I found that looking at threads that interested me helped me, to learn about how other people coped.

I found an article that helped was about treatments for depression .
