Hello all
Hello, This is my first post. I have never been in a chat room so any advice is welcome. I am 55 and have been suffering from anxiety and depression my whole life. It’s only been the last 20 years or so that I knew it had a name. Just thought it was me and my defective character. Oh well. I feel that it’s important for me to chat with people who understand. Thanks for listening. Beth

Hi imaginativeCoconut2131, I'm new to chat here also. I totally understand dealing with anxiety and depression your whole life. I didn't know what anxiety was, I just kept thinking everything about me was wrong and I tried to eat all those horrible feelings away. I came to 7cups to hopefully find others like me and find a healthier way to fight the Dragons. Thanks Vicki
