New here, diagnosed with high-level depression and anxiety since I was 11, I'm now almost 16. Having a really hard time at the moment and finding it very difficult to talk to anyone.

Hi demetrious_alian,

You do not have to go through it alone when you come here as it is a great place to offload, read other people's journeys and gain support without judgement.

Sorry to hear you are having a really hard time at the moment but coming to this space might give you a chance to discuss issues that are concerning you at present.

Our community also has a place where the younger community members go and post what is going on for them but we are all here if you feel like to sharing. Beyondblue also has a call line 1300 22 4636 [24/7] for support and if things become too overwhelming please call 000.

Please don't feel like you have to do it on your own without any support.

hello demetrious_alien, welcome to the site and please don't be concerned when you want to talk with us, remember all of us have through similar or another type of depression for many years ourselves.
You must be at school and this could be prolonging your depression and anxiety, because both of these are always there when the other is, so they happen together.
Or perhaps it's your home life, love life or feel as though your friends have let you down.
All of these are very important to have a healthy life, but unfortunately you're struggling, and that is never good. Geoff.
