Anxiety and depression
I just signed up to join this group. I have had depression for a long time, not much anxiety now as I used to. I do not take any medication which I think I should. I would like to connect with other people for support and encouragement.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

@feliciaus Just wanted to say welcome!

2 Reactions@marjou Thank you very much. Yes, I was looking for this group for a long time. Glad I found it. I was looking for emojis to assign to my replies and couldn't find them. Any suggestion? Thank you.

1 ReactionHello @feliciaus, I would like to add my welcome along with @marjou and others. 🙃 If you are using a Windows computer, emojis are easy. Just click the right mouse button where you are typing and you should see a menu with emojis option at the top. Select it and you should see a few emojis and you can also search for some.

4 ReactionsHello @johnbishop and @marjou thank you both for the warm welcome! I am using a desktop and if I click the right mouse button it is giving me a menu to paste, copy, .select all, etc. No emojis to select from. I might have to copy and paste some emojis from my files.
Thank you for the link. Yes, I view the discussions in the group.

2 ReactionsHere's another way to get the emojis with the keyboard.
During text entry, hold down the Windows logo key and then press the period key. The emoji keyboard will appear. -- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-keyboard-tips-and-tricks-588e0b72-0fff-6d3f-aeee-6e5116097942

3 Reactions@johnbishop @marjou I did some research and found out that I am using Windows 7 which does not have the capability to insert emojis. With Windows 11 you can achieve more as it is showing in your screenshot. I thank you for taking the time to walk me through this trick. Anyway, I am able to react and use different symbols including emojis on other platforms I am using. Truly appreciated.
