Hi everyone

[Bullets4all]

I've been suffering anxiety/depression since my mid-teens and now I'm in my early 20s watching what should be the best years of my life burn away. I'm hoping to speak with people in a similar situation so that we can share advice on recovering.

Hi and welcome to the forums

Thanks for welcoming me


Welcome to NMP, Bullets. What are you doing to help take care of your anxiety?

Drinking green tea...lol. Otherwise not enough. The waiting lists for therapy are soo long and I hate tablets which leaves me in a bit of a predicament.

I was given Citropram for a month but I didn't like it.

Hey Bullets, why not they the free online CBT course. It has helped so much! Also, there quite a few beginner's guided meditations on YouTube. Amazing what thirty minutes a day can do!

You're a star. Thanks for the great advice. I'll try everything you mentioned :)

No star here, just another recovering anxiety person. But one that is willing to work hard. I can't stress enough what thirty minutes a day of meditation can do, and you don't have to do it perfectly. Just do it.
I also go to YouTube and try to watch some comedy that will make me laugh. Laughter is so healing when we feel this way.
