Hi guys,

I'm very new to beyondblue so this is the first time I've posted in here. I've always struggled with anxiety, health anxiety, general anxiety etc. Recently I dropped out of university because as I began it just exploded into I don't want to do this anymore. I dropped out and now just have too much time on my hands. I see a psychologist, I have a loving home, I have a beautiful girlfriend. The tough thing is all this extra time has made me depressed like I feel nervous and sad a lot. I do the mindfullness, exercise, sleep, and eat routine but I'm still not making much progress. I'm scared I won't come out of this funk because if I've ever been in a funk I could escape it. Such as; I lived in Japan after highschool it got to much so I left, I went on a holiday in Europe with mates last year it go to much and I left. This time I've quit uni but these feelings and sadness haven't gone away and I don't know how to get rid of them. I don't really have any hobbies I suppose? I don't know what to do and I'm scared. I just want someone to let me know that I'm going to make it out of this and SOON!
