I've decided to come out of lurking here and join you ladies. I have depression all my life but recently I feel like it has come back and gotten worse. I also feel like I suffer from social anxiety and find it difficult to speak up. I am in therapy and seeking medication to help me but I am glad this board is here.
Welcome! I'm glad you are seeking treatment for your depression. I have depression, anxiety, and self injury issues myself. This board is full of support so know that we are here for you!
Welcome to Recovery! It's good that you're seeking treatment. A lot of us here are. I'm seeking treatment for depression and anxiety as well as some secondhand addiction issues. This board offers a lot of perspective and support.
Welcome! Don't be afraid to speak up if you don't feel any medication you're offered works. Give it a good two weeks, then if you don't feel it's working, try another. I'm glad you're seeking therapy too.
