Good morning!

I am new here and just checking it out. I am 55 and suffer from depression and anxiety. I have been this way for many years and I am looking for positive ways of dealing with it. I have recently started doing
cbt therapy on line and have found it useful but I still need other options so here I am. I hope to get to know you all and that we can help each other on this journey

Hi! It's sounds that you've come to just the right place. I've found a lot of thoughts and insights on this site that have helped me to learn to approach my depression and anxiety in a more positive way. ( I've found the quotes and meditations in Warmsoul's corner particularly thought-provoking and helpful in this regard. )
I still sometimes feel as if being more positive in my thoughts and feelings is like learning a foreign language. But as the old joke goes:
" Young man, how do I get to Carnegie Hall? "
" Practice, lady, practice! "
Best Of luck! ( PS. Perhaps I should warn you that the only drawback to this site is my very idiosyncratic, British sense of humour! )

Welcome to the forums.

I have been away for a bit and it is so good to see the new people that have "found" this site. It has been so helpful in my life.

You can see by the number of posts that I have made that I am quite a prolific poster and am looking forward to hearing more from all you newbie's.

I am so glad that TackingIntoTheWind mentioned Warmsoul's corner. She has so many little snippets, that may be short but have often provoked me to think more about what she has written.

Again, welcome
