My New Thread - All About Me🌻

Hey guys, I am new to Beyond Blue and this is my first post. Here are a few things about me:

My name is Morgan, I am a 14 year old girl and I live in Melbourne. I enjoy reading, writing, listening to music and watching Netflix, however I suffer from depression and anxiety. My posts will be mainly about the struggles I go through, asking for advice and asking for people to share their experiences.

Hi. Welcome to beyond blue. Firstly, I am not a trained professional. I am just like you - just another user on the forum that suffers from anxiety and depression. I hope that you find this a safe place where you are can post in anonymity. You will be accepted by the people in this community and not be judged.

Are you, or, how are you coping with "depression and anxiety"? (That is from your post.) Are you getting professional help? You do not have answer these questions.

Not sure if you have looked around the forums, but you will find other threads to help you manage including...

Three things to be thankful for today - Beyondblue
Grounding yourself, What is it and how do you? - Beyondblue
Relaxation exercises - Beyondblue

Do a google search to find the above pages. As you are probably aware, knowing what your triggers help you manage it. My psychologist has also given me other tools, suggested apps to install my phone (only 2) and a 1 book to read. If you have any questions or want to chat, please let me know.
