Hello everyone

[pDSal51]

Hello. I'm a 32 year old male and I've suffered with depression all my life and anxiety for the last ten years or so. I was on meds for a while, mainly for insomnia, but I took it for depression and anxiety as well. Over the last few years, I gradually lost contact with everyone I hung around with. I would like to connect with people more: either online or in person, but I struggle with reaching out to people. Lately, I have this unbearable feeling and belief that this is it; that my life can never get any better.

Hi and welcome, I think when things are bad we don't see that it can get better. Having lived through some bad days I know things can improve.

The struggle to get through the day to day is one that is shared by so many, myself included. Hopefully it will help to find people of like mind and like struggles that you can relate to here.

Hi pDSal and welcome to the forum


It can be hard to see that it can become better when we feel bad but it can change. I’m glad you have joined the forum and I hope you will enjoy it here. There are people here that can relate and can give support.

Thanks jajingna. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. It's good to hear that things can get better; from someone who has been through some bad days. I just wish i had something to cling, even something small. It feels like I'm stuck in a rut.
