Hi.. I'm new here..

[Gazhopper]

Hello all. I'm an old hand with depression but new to the whole forum thing - very self-conscious about sharing with others. But I cannot do this on my own anymore so I'm taking the plunge into the world of human interaction. Not thinking clearly at all so unsure where to start - suppose initially just looking for some confirmation I do actually exist because I feel completely invisible right now. I'd add the word "Help" but guess that's implied by my presence here right?..

Hi and welcome to BB

Yep you defiantly do exist either that or someone spiked my meds.. nah just kidding. Happy your reaching out. Sorry I tend to type how I talk.

It good me probably over 30 years to reach out for help to others for help. It is so rewarding here reading that others face the same problems and insecurities.

My depression started in my early teens and went up and down for years.

We are all here for you now and I'm so proud you took the step to reach out😊😊

Thankyou for the welcome!. Of course after the initial post panic set in thinking that no one would reply so it means a lot you have taken the time to do so. Hopefully I can both get some support here and even lend an ear or shoulder to others in need.. But I'm new and scared and confused and becoming comfortable here will take time. Thankyou again for welcoming me in.
