Hi guys,
Mana89 here, Iv officially become a registered beyondblue member as of today and this is my first post! Im very grateful to have a caring close friend who has referred me to this group as i am looking for some guidance and support regarding the nature of anxiety & depression to help steer me in the right direction to help save my relationship. Iv been reading through some posts and im loving the safe welcoming community environment that this place has to offer. Im extremely sensitive about posting my story as im nervous about being judged but i need help and i thought this would be the best place to start.
xx

Hello Mana89 and Welcome to the Beyond Blue Community!
My name is Paul and your caring close friend is a good one to have. Thankyou so much for the nice compliment about the forums..We are a relaxed group of people that also have our own issues and difficulties too
I have only been on the BB forums since January and I have found so very many wonderful people on here. I have had anxiety/depression for many years and am here for any questions that you are comfortable asking.
Your relationship is a sensitive subject Mana. When you wish to I can only try to help you if you wish of course.The BB Forums are private and secure to protect you and your privacy. I was also hesitant when I joined the forums but now am very happy that I have.
If you have an issue with your relationship you are more than welcome to let us know. You are more than welcome to post about anything you wish.
Kind Thoughts
Paul

All of us on this site have suffered terribly from some type of depression, while some have been able to overcome their dark side, while others still reply but could still be struggling but feel as though they need to try and assist other people.
It's always great when we have someone new join the site, because with them, they bring a different side that may not have been already discussed, or perhaps add on to what has been said.
No one is judged, nor criticised, we may suggest something which you may not have thought of, or we may touch on a delicate point, but in no way do we ever mean to harm anybody.
We understand that you are nervous, but you don't have to explain everything at once, you can break it down slowly, until you feel comfortable enough with us.
It's great that your close friend has suggested you visiting the site and perhaps she herself has benefited from this BB forum.
Take your time and look forward to hearing back from you. Geoff. x

Dear Mana
Geoff's advice and support are spoken from the heart. I just wanted to see how you are going too....
Looking forward to hearing how you are going when you are comfortable doing so...
