Depression is overwhelming me
Hello, My coworker recommended this site to me. I'm 28 and have been living with depression and anxiety on and off since I was 13. I have been feeling very depressed since lockdown happened and just feeling very alone in the last year. I have frequently been having thoughts of self harming. I don't really know what to expect out of this, but I am trying to take some steps to maybe get a therapist or talk to my doctor because I have never done so and the feelings are becoming exhaustive and overwhelming. It would be nice to have someone to talk to though.
@tinker144 Hi there, I'm glad you found this site! Lockdown can definitely lead to loneliness, it's super difficult finding ways to connect with your friends and you had to make a lot of adjustments to your lifestyle. I think your idea of talking with a therapist/doctor is great!
