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

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
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

Hi Monkey Magic thank you for your reply I very much appreciate it, Thank you for your nice words and regarding my Name I'm glad you like it :)...I'm just thinking of your Name and reminds me of 'Monkey' do you know of it?...I really like that Show...
I do like the Beach and the Ocean but haven't been there much lately I suppose I should build up the energy and go someday soon...
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...
Thank you very much for your kind words 🙂
