Actually this is my first time joining any kind of a forum. Everyone seems to be friendly, supportive and wise in the advice you give. I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks all my life, Depression has taken over the last few years and has greatly changed my life in a negative way, I am on meds, have a therapist and psychiatrist but I am hoping this forum aids in my continuous unrelenting fight against depression.

Hi Hope Again,

I like your name...

You will find that here you can get good feedback on posts and great advice. I see a psychologist and a psychiatrist too. It is so helpful. I also take meds. Usually this combination finds us some relief. I hope that you find some soon. Suffering with depression is really the pits. But it can get better. You may need some self help books to read, that really helps. Talking here helps too.

I hope that you feel better soon. Welcome to the forum, keep posting...

Hugs, Karen

Welcome to the forum Hope,

You are on the right track with all that you are doing.

Do you coping skills that you use or are working on? Usually, a therapist suggests, CBT or DBT skills they are both good, depending on diagnosis. Mindfulness is one of my go to skills.

Keep writing here it is always good to get your thoughts out, and find a response.

Stay strong
Peace
Trina
