Hi all. Starting on Friday, I decided maybe I could help some people in r/depression, as I have fought depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD for almost 30 years. I’m in a pretty good place now, apart from the GAD, which plagues me every day. I was in a conversation with someone for nearly 4 hours last night. They were going through some pretty intense stuff and I did my best to help as much as I could. I think I did some good but in the process I think I lost some ground on where I was. It certainly wasn’t the person’s fault, I couldn’t imagine going through what they were.

To make a long story short, my anxiety is through the roof right now and I could use a little pick-me-up. I’ve unsubscribed from r/depression as nearly every post in there has become a trigger for me. I wish I could give back more, but I guess I’m not ready for that yet. Maybe I can do some good in here. Thanks for reading.
