Hi Folks,
I have been a sufferer of both Anxiety/Depression for the past 2 decades.
Whilst, I manage it now with meds, believe me when I say there has been some dark days and periods where I've thought why bother keeping going.
I've been to hell and back like most of us but I hope that in some of your dark times and through my own personal experiences that I can help you to claw your way back...
There's always light at the end of the tunnel and sometimes you may not see it but it is there..
If anyone wants to reach out and say Hi or just want to chat, I'm here...
I don't have all the answers but maybe together we can find a better way to approach things and sometimes a good vent or rant makes things a whole lot better...
Anyways, not going to bore you with rambling but suffice to say, you're not alone regardless if you think you are...
I'm also a HUGE Star Wars fan and a bit of a nerd so don't let that put you off... 😊
Take Care and May the Force set you free... 😆

Good afternoon DarthVader,
Thanks so much for your introductory post. I think its fantastic that you have come on here with the desire to help others. Hopefully in doing so, you will find many benefits for yourself as well.
I also suffer from Anxiety (ptsd and ocd) and have done for 20 years now. I only addressed the issue in the last 12 months however, and I still have a long way to go before I can say that I have beaten it in any way shape or form. I know you will have many people responding to your post, and I hope this experience will be of benefit to yourself as well as others.
I must say that your story provides some hope and inspiration to me, and no doubt many others. So thankyou.
Kind regards,
Sherie xx

HI Darth Vader,
Thanks for sharing with us all. It is wonderful you have come to this site with the intention of being there for others.
I came to this site when I was in a very low place and received a lot of support, kind words and encouragement.
Hopefully those who need a listening ear will reach out to you and others and feel like their issues have been acknowledged and validated.
Sometimes that is all we need, to know that someone cares, and even if they don't understand the whole situation they are prepared to listen.
So cheers to you and well done for coming on board!
From (Mrs.) Dools

Hi. me again Darth Vader,
I was just wondering if you would like to drop by on AFernandes post in Young People called "I'm so lonely". Being a fellow bloke, you might be able to give this young guy a bit of advice and a boost of confidence.
thanks.
