@birchmere Welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm glad that you found us. Being depressed and anxious are horrible feelings. I feel as if I have been there on and off my whole life. How can I help? What do you need to know? First off, when did the begin? Are you on any medications? Therapy?

Hello @birchmere

As Kanaaz mentioned, we would like to get to know you a bit better. Please feel free to share (as you are comfortable doing so) any information about your history with depression and anxiety. We have many Members in this discussion group who would be glad to share with you some of what has helped them to overcome the distressing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Is there anything going on with you right now that has triggered this or has it been ongoing for some time?
