Hi WestCoastGuy, can I welcome you to the site and for posting your comment.

Even though your comment is brief, it tells us straight away what you are suffering from, I'm very sorry and know exactly how you are feeling.

I could ask you many questions but that would not be kind to you so when you have a chance then please get back to us. Geoff.

Hi WestCoastGuy,

I would like to extend another welcome to you to the forums 🙂

I feel depression and anxiety can be so difficult to deal with. I’m glad you’re trying to reach out here for support.

Take your time to reply but I was wondering if you would like to tell us a little more about yourself? There’s no pressure though so only share more if you want to and feel comfortable doing so....

Kind thoughts,

Pepper

I give a bit life is to hard and lonely

Morning WestCoastGuy,

I like your name by the way, do u go to the beach at all?I'm glad you want to overcome your depression & anxiety! That's great news. Did u want any tips? I found getting out and about a huge help, as well as doing things that excited me and a physical outlet. I also needed therapy. We are in your corner here at BB. A lot of us come from a place of empathy, compassion, understanding as we've been there or still are there. Can I ask how your thinking of overcoming the( beast)? I have faith you will succeed.

Hi WestCoastGuy, I do know that it can be frightening and rather daunting to open up to strangers, but all of us have been to hell and back ourselves, not once but several times, and there are people who do reply while they are currently in depression, that's to everyone's benefit.

We all need to help each other and if you do want to reply to another comment then please do so, simply because your knowledge maybe something none of us knows about.

Remember we all need each others help. Geoff.

Exactly I do want to get over this depression and Anxiety I'm just so tired of it, I did go to the Doctor just recently and he put me on some Anti-Depressants and also I'm now doing counselling as well, I felt like if I want to get better I need to start taking steps to achieving that, also I've really been watching how healthy I eat too and I do try and exercise as much as I can although some days are harder than others...
