Hey there, I'm a Newbie
Hi, I've been having severe depression and anxiety for the past couple of years and since my parents don't believe in therapy I've never been to therapy except for once when I was forced by my school just to be insulted and called names i.e bed climber, wh*re, loose women etc coz I had a boyfriend and we hugged in school premises. I hope to connect with others and I wish to help others and help myself feel less depressed and more happy! Thanks for having me here
It is hard to go through without support. I can understand very well. I used to meditate a lot and read self help books. I started practicing gratitude. Also, I became careful of the self talk. I started doing small things which makes me happy and feel better. I was becoming slower those days, but still I was moving. I became my own best friend. As I would support my best friend, I showed compassion towards myself. It felt good.
