Im new.......

[Everynamestakenseriously]

Hi everyone,

Im new to this forum thing..

I have been suppering from depression and anxiety as part of other mental health issues since i was pre-teen.. im now in my late 20's. It has gotten somewhat better over the past couple of years and i quite often kid myself and everyone else about how well im doing..

Today, after a normal day, i just couldnt hold it together any longer. I cried and cried.. cant remember the last time i let myself do that.. so im here.. because i need support and dont know where else to go for it....

So im giving this forum thing a go. I need to tell my story even if no one reads it... i just need an outlet because it scares me to think what would happen if i continue to kid myself... so once i work out this forum thing i will share the bits i need to get off my chest and read the stories of others in hope of feeling a little less alone.

Thanks for listening

Hello there everyname

It is nice to meet you. I am 26 and also have suffered from depression and anxiety for...a while. Hard to say when it becomes part of you I suppose. 🙂

In a way, I'm kind of glad that you felt like you couldn't hold it in any longer today because it's led you here to a place where hopefully you won't feel like you need to hold things in. It's so hard to battle through these tough emotions on your own.

So yeah, it is nice to meet you and I hope you can share what you would like to here. It is entirely confidential so aside from needing to withhold information that could identify you, you can pretty much tell us anything which is on your mind without fear of being discovered or even judged.

Hi everyname,

Welcome, I hope that you find some support through these forums. It's great to have you here.

Needing an outlet resonates with me as well, and this is a good one. Even, as you say, if not many people reply, it's great to get it all out in a safe place.

I hope you can share more and that will help you feel better. Also, I've found a big cry can make me feel so much better, even if it brings up 'stuff', it's about not letting it all stay inside.

Take care,

Zazu x
