Hi I'm new

[babysquid]

Hi I'm a 29 year old bloke whose been putting up with depression and anxiety since I was 20. I don't know why! I have a very loving and supportive family, so no probs there. I live in a beautiful cottage in a really friendly village, I'm financially sound, I love music and I've taught myself to play various instruments over the years, I can cook well and I'm really enjoying growing my own vegetables in the my garden! Reading alot of other peoples posts I feel a bit feeble as I've never had the troubles that many of you have been through. But I stiill feel very down sometimes, to the point where I find it almost physically painfull to leave my house. and everytime I think I've got it licked it slaps me back in the face when I least expect it and am at my most vunerable.
I hope joining this forum will help me cope better.
I also hope that I can be of help to some of you.
Thankyou for taking the time to read my post.

love on ya!

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Hello

Did you ever have any help for it ?

You may benefit from having a short course of CBT and really thrashing out your non apparant fears with a therapist.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Babysquid you have the coolest name!

I'm quite similar to you in a few ways - I have a very loving family, I play piano (great help when I'm feeling particularly yuck!), I'm a teacher which I love doing, and yet I'm still in a right state! It's not fair is it?! I have suffered with panic, anxiety and mild depression for over 20 years now (and I'm now 30) so you are not alone.

Hey girls, this guy sounds like a woman's dream doesn't he?! Creative, can cook, what more could you want?!!!

(Only joking babysquid!)

Which instruments do you play?

A HUGE WELCOME!!

Hey there babysquid, yes the name is definitely pretty cool. lol
I too have a very loving family for the most part. and it keeps doing that to me too, where I'm fine for awhile and then all the sudden im the deepest hole yet. Thats about where I am right now.

But I can tell you what everyone keeps telling me: you've beat once, you can beat it again. and one day it will be for good. [^]

much love
