Hi,
I have been reading these forums for months now, and I hope by joining I can heal and move forward form my anxiety / depression. It is so comforting to know I am not alone in my feelings.
I am a 30 year old woman, married with 3 children. On the outside I have a lovely life. My husband is great, and very supportive, my kids are healthy happy and beautiful, and I have a well paid part-time job which I love. But for the past 3 or 4 years I have had depression on and off and anxiety. A lot of it stems from my childhood - probably more than I care to admit, although I have had a rough few years which seems to have triggered these feelings. I have been on different meds in the past and had private counselling, all of which I have found to be a short term gain, not a long term coping strategy.
Now I am just going to try and look forward and heal myself, so that I can hopefully look forward to the rest of my life with some positivity.
Thanks for listening, :flowers:
