Hi

Hope you're doing OK today. I hadn't been on here for a while as I had felt I had come out of the other side of a very long low. But today I realised I have crashed right back down. I went through my phonebook thinking of anyone I could talk to but no one. So I understand your feeling of lonleyness. That's why I came back on here just to talk to someone.

Hello Jessica,

Welcome to the site. I have been struggling with depression, anxiety & PTSD for several decades. There are many folks here who have experiences they can share and support. There is a PTSD group on this site, but there is not as much activity there as in this Depression forum.

Let us know how you are doing.

Hi jessica im suffering severe anxiety which is like hell on earth. Alongside depression which is awful in itself. This bout has been brought on by my stepdads death in sept & the worry abt mum & travelling up & down the country for funeral memorials etc on public transport & seeing someone i loved suffer so much. Yet i suffer depression & anxiety plus some personality disorders to boot which have been present since childhood. You said just knowing ur not alone will help. Im new on here & just knowing im not alone is of some comfort xx hope it is for u too xx
