Thank you for this site. I spent quite a lot of time here today, and it helped me alot. I have chatted with a listener, and participated in the Community room, And it was all helpful. I had the chance to speak with listeners quite a bit last fall, and today too, what I found is that through the willingness to listen with kindness - thye helped me come to clarity.

Whatever you are feeling, or going through, just remember someone is always a click or tap away that who will never judge you and will comfort you and accept you for who you truly are. Everything will be OK.

@BuddyA52 loved what you wrote dear:D really glad you feel this way... hope you feel better n better :D
According to this site, I have moderate depression and anxiety and have severely elevated levels of stress... does anyone have advice on how to deal with this?
Start a journal, it was the best thing I ever did as I can now visually see where I have been compared to where I am now as well as being able to write down all my feelings to get rind of the negative ones constructively. I also suggest writing down one thing every day that made you smile as a reminder that things do get better, I hope this helps xx
Exercise helps alot, eating healthy. You should speak to your Dr about the issues your having though. Try to develop healthy friendships doing things you like. Start a journal writing your thoughts feelings. Try writing about all your grateful for on individual pieces of paper. Put them in a jar and when you have a moment pull one out...
I suffer from mild depression as well. It started when I hit puberty at 12. I use to think it was just improper thoughts or negative thinking...I am a faithful person and believe in Christ so I thought I'm not praying or believing enough. Then my mom and others noticed a pattern, I'm female so....it got so bad it was effecting my child. I was so against medication but I finally said enough is enough. I'm not going to have this effect my chikd. So I went to my Dr and I am on medication now. It has helped immensely. This is obviously just my testimony/story but I wanted to share so you can understand why I suggested going to you Dr. Don't wait so long like I did...suffering needlessly. Much love to you and I'm glad your here :)
