Depression Understood Forums

I've struggled with depression and anxiety a great deal of my life. So, here I am trying to gather support and encouragement, hope I can be supportive to others as well. I have OCD, and survived domestic violence many years ago. Feel free to say hello. Thanks!

Hi Helloraspberries1, thanks for the kind and supportive welcome, hope you are doing well!


Hi RandomGirlNo1, thanks for the friendly hello!

Hello back! I'm new here too and am in a similar boat as you...have suffered with depression and anxiety for a good portion of my life, and am looking for support and encouragement. Looking to feel less like I am alone and more like there are other people out there like me and people I can talk to. Welcome.

Hello, and welcome. I'm a newbie to the forum and I too have struggled with depression for many years. I was recently diagnose with Bipolar. I'm currently withdrawing from meds that failed to give relief. I've taken a proactive approach to wellness by being and encourager and listener. I've found that I always feel better when I'm helping someone else feel better. Our journey with depression, anxiety and other disorders may be different, but we all seek the same destination. I firmly believe happiness and wellness is achievable.
