Hi Free spirit I live in Yorkshire as well , bit older than you and have suffered from anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember, you are amongst friends here. Welcome to the club!

Thanks linjoy

Luckily I don't suffer with depression..both my mother and hubby have suffered since childhood/teens so I'm familiar with the living hell that is depression..anyway I hope today is a good day for you.

Hello Fran. I also suffer from anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia. Please feel free to PM me if you fancy a chat. It can be a very lonely illness.
