Re: can anyone help im newbie

I'm new to this too. It's a bit scary! I'm always happy to chat if you want to email me. I'm looking for people to chat to so we can support one another.

Re: can anyone help im newbie

I too am new to this. Due to my illness and/or bad sleep habits I'm often up until 2 a.m. in the morning. I have depression and anxiety. I highly recommend both a psychologist and a psychiatrist. I can't emphasize how important it is to have a good one. I know that groups exist where there is a facilitator and the rest of the group are mental health sufferers. That could be a good start for you. I have been a member of a self help center where an organization that is supported by the state with various grants organizes group activities. This may help you to get out of your shell. I know the web address for the group I'm talking about is www.selfhelpcenter.org. There may be links to where a similar group exists in your area. In other words leave no stone unturned.

Re: Re: can anyone help im newbie

I am in a similar situation.Have been depresses all my life. I gave up on medicatin treatments as they didn't help me. I know they do help many so I am not suggesting anyone do what I did. I am very much alone and would really like to make a friendship with someone that understands.
