hi evryone am new here m sweety

Hi, My name is Jason. I have been struggling with depression and anxiety (anxiety to a lesser extent) for some time now. Been working with doctors the last 7 months to get meds right, but still not there. New to this today and hoping it will be helpful

Hi everyone! I'm Monica. I'm 37 years old and am new to this community as well as the site. I've struggled with depression for as long as I can remember, and then the anxiety followed. I moved to another state almost 2 years ago and have had some difficulty finding decent care for depression. Every doctor I've seen doesn't want to adjust my meds and tells me to get more exercise. It's been disheartening. My move has also lead to some lonliness so I'm happy I found this site. I look forward to getting to know you all!

Hello I'm 26 and I've been having depression for almost 10 years now .It's been only recently I've been able to talk about it with family and my so but it feels like they don't understand and think it's and on and off switch I can flip any day. I'm just glad I found this site to show me I'm not alone when it comes to feeling this way.

Hiya Im hollie Im 13 and my main problem wis with depression and I cant find people who will talk to me

Hi I'm Lindsay, I'm not really sure I have depression, but I deal with a lot of the symptoms and recently they've been getting worse. I was hesitant to do this because I've tried to talk to some people before (no profesionals yet) but I've only ever been told that my problems don't really matter and that I shouldn't complain. I know a lot of people have it worse, but I'm still trying to connect with some people who might be in similar situations and talk about what has helped them come to terms and cope with things like this.

Hi there! I'm Holly and I'm new to this app. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety only a year ago, but I've been secretly dealing with it since I was a teenager. My anxiety had me trying to function as though I wasn't depressed so no one really noticed. Before my official diagnosis, my best friend attempted suicide and I stopped her. That was a turning point because my anxiety and depression spiralled. I'm currently seeing a therapist to help me tackle my problems, but was hoping this app and the community could be an additional resource between appointments!

Hell O

Hi. Im having a really hard time now. Only started getting professional help a month ago. But have been thinking of seeking out help for 3 years. These last months it have been getting worse and worse. And this is the worst it has ever been. Have to wait a while now untill I can get fully examined and diagnosed. Im a college student studying music, though Im not going to school right now (because of my mental state). Have been struggling with self harm and suicidal thoughts. And in addition to depression I suspect something related to social anxiety (general) and/or autism specteum and/or avoidant personality disorsee. Im staying with a friend and his family now because I dont want to be alone. It is hell in my body and my mind. But Im trying to be hopefull and cope the best that I can.
