Hi new

[NeonPink]

Hi I 25 am new to this board I suffer from depression and social anxiety. After my abusive relationship of over 5 years broke up, I realise how alone and depressed I am. I have no friends (they left long ago after my ex didnt like them) and I spend all my days alone.
I never realised so many others had depression and social anxiety so at least I alone in that. I am not sure what else to say sorry if it all seems so negative.

hiya and welcome i too suffer soical anxiety a mild form and used to have depression. i am having cbt and its really helping me to have more confidence and think differently. its well worth having it i think. welldone for getting out of an abusive relationship as these types of releationships do drag u down to the point of u feeling worthless, but u r not. to help the dep and anxiety u need to keep busy and keep to a routine every day doing daily stuff and not giving yourself to much thinking time. exercise too got rid of my dep and i still brisk walk every day, but even doing a vid or dvd in doors is great i started out doing that and after month or so u will begin to feel positive, motivated and happier. i know u feel really crap but it will get better, also talking and writing it down helps loads so keep posting and we will do our best here to give u advice and support hugs xxx
