Hey humbled. I am brand new here too, about 10 minutes in fact. I don't know if the forums are the best place for me or if I should chat to someone but thought I'd give this a go. I am interested that you say you are a long term sufferer. I can see depression right back to my childhood and through a very recent crisis incident have finally sought some real help. I, like you, just hope someone can help. This thing has destroyed so much of my life and hurt so many people, I really need to address it now, finally.

Hi mate.. thank you for your note. I wish you luck and I believe it's a good thing to reach out into the community for understanding of what is happening to us. I hope we can find some answers hey 😊

Thanks again mate

Hi Venessa.. thank you for your comforting words and sorry to hear of your past troubles. Happy to hear you have come a long way since then, it must not have been easy.

umm is there a place I can post my story? I'm not quite sure where to post as a diagnosis has been hard to get recently although I have suffered with anxiety for 8 years. I doubt the anxiety very much still and knowing that that's all it is would be a big help.
