Hi, I'm new here.
I will call myself Jeff. I am new here. I am 37 years old. I didn't know what to post or what to say, so I am just posting a "hello." I struggle with severe depression and generalized anxiety. I feel like I am so "in my head" a lot and keeping others out. I imagine scary things in my mind and I think it starts to feel real. Usually after I actually say what is bothering me I realize it's not a big deal and calm down. There are just so many thoughts and they keep going. Maybe I will meditate. I need some peaceful time. Thank you for reading.
@sensibleThinker8198 Hi there Jeff, welcome and thanks for posting a hello, I know it can be hard to know what to say, but you have made a good start. From your name sensible thinker I get the feeling that you will enjoy this community.
Meditation is a good tool, how do you meditate? I explored meditation several years ago and now use it almost daily even for 5 minutes. 7 Cups has some useful exercises in mindfulness, have you had a look?
