10 Step : I`ve learned (again) to always remember that we tend to forget about how we trully are awesome. So REMEMBER that You are GREAT (even if people around can`t see it).

I am but confident today than before

I have become more confident since I joined last week

I found that even after are the hard times taking time to myself and doing something that I really enjoy makes me happy really helps. Instead of using a bad coping mechanism I try and do something realxing like going for a walk. It helps get a clearer mindset.

feel like i can trust people here its worth it people can help maybe

I feel like there's hope to controlling my anxiety and not let it get in the way! :)

Depression and anxiety lie. When confronted with either, say to yourself "how is my depression lying to me this time?" This has somewhat worked for me.

Defeating depression and social anxiety is an everyday battle.It's like playing one of those online games like candy crush. Each time you reach a new level there are more obstacles and goals to complete before you can move on to the next level. If you do not accomplish the goals and tasks then you stay stuck until you achieve them...only then can you move on to the next level. That's how I see myself fighting these two (depression and social anxiety). I'm determined and will never give up until I reach the level that satisfies me!!

I feel like the key to getting over most if not all of my issues are to communicate towards others.

Participated in theLGBTQ+ Chat today, it was really meaningful to me and helped me better understand my own struggles with sexuality and connect with people in the community I'm finally opening myself to! Being open and communicating like this was a great step for me to head to the next level and I hope this room continues to exist for others to have similar experiences!
