Hey

[PoppyFlower]

I'm 21 years old and although I know I have had anxiety and depression from a young age, it has been at its absolute worst for the last half of this year. Along with many personal problems, I feel lost and alone. Thought I would give this a try - Georgia

HI Georgia and welcome to the forums

I know how horrible anxiety can be especially at a young age. I struggled myself at 21 and from an early age. I have gone and gotten help through my gp who refered me to a psychologist through the mental health care plan. I have also used the services at headspace. I have found both of them really beneficial.

I just want to welcome you to the forums. We have a really good community on the BB forums. If you have anything in particular you want to chat about I am ready to listen

Hi PoppyFlower,

Good on you for posting here. I’m glad you have already received such a warm welcome from Ms Purple 🙂

It sounds like the past 6 months have been particularly rough. Plus loneliness is such a painful feeling...you’re clearly going through a lot...

As Ms Purple said, if there’s anything you would like to talk about, you’ll find a lot of support and understanding here. Write any time you like...

Kind and caring thoughts,

Pepper
