    Hi @Leondre22 :) 

    Welcome to the community.

    Sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing with depression and anxiety. The charity Mind have a lot of helpful resources in this area if you need support

    You will also find plenty of helpful information and support on our online community, this is a super helpful and supportive place.

    Hi @Leondre22 - & welcome to this friendly & supportive community from me too. I'm sorry to read about your struggle with anxiety & depression. We have quite a lot of other members that suffer the same, so you will find a lot of understanding here. Please do have a look around the forum; there are links to our virtual 'Coffee lounge,' & 'Recent discussions' right at the top of this page. I hope you enjoy being part of this community & look forward to seeing you around, or chatting here. :)

    Hi and welcome @Leondre22 Glad you have joined us here, you will find lots of other members who can relate to your condition.

    I think a lot if us find it easier to talk on line rather than face to face which is why this is a great place to be part of

    I look forward to seeing you around
