Hello I am @Kat75

I have suffered with Depression and Anxiety for many years. I am very happy to find this site as I feel I am so alone with my condition and would like to reach out to others that battle with mental health issues every day as well.

Welcome @Kat75 you’re certainly not alone with your anxiety and depression. They have been constant companions of mine for the past 11 years, like unwelcome house guests. I’ve just started seeing a new psychologist and am focusing on progressive muscle relaxation and deep breathing exercises to start with. Need to retrain my mind and body. Always up for a chat. You’ve come to the right place for support. May peace be upon you 🙏

Thank you @Krishna . I really am so glad to be part of this forum, when I get Depressed I feel like it is only me suffering. As bad as it sounds knowing I am not alone helps.

@indigochild nice to meet you. I am sorry for your pain. It is an awful thing to go through. You are not alone. No one can see Depression and Anxiety so I feel people don't care as much.
