Hi Croix thank you for sharing your story it makes a difference when you find people who know what your are talking about with depression. I am still finding my way around using a forum so if you dont mind answering a question for me. When i reply to this post does it appear for everyone? That would be great if they do

Dear Missymoon~

I'm glad my experience struck a chord. I'm not sure what you mean about paranoid thoughts. Overthinking things and also seeing the worst that can happen is sadly par for the course with depression and anxiety.

it is a pretty good thing you found support with your stepson. Having nobody able or prepared to understand leads to further isolation and feelings that lack self worth.

On this Forum everything posted by anybody is always visible to everyone.

Hope this helps

Hi Croix and everyone, thanks for your reply , you hit the nail on the head with your description of over thinking and seeing the worst in situations and to know it is a part of the depression and not just myself and also its great to know that u can reply to multiple people in the one post.
