Hi guys,
I'm very much struggling with my anxiety and depression for a little bit now. I'm reaching out for support from my forum community/family. I was not sure, what location, to put this in. And also, a place for others to check in too.

Hey @oceangirl
I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling at the moment. Is there anything in particular that you’re struggling with? I hope things pick up for you soon.

These are difficult times for a lot of people. Even though there is technology and a little more financial security for many, the speed of change and chaos in the world has massively increased stress.
I wont be able to log on for a few days, as I have a big family gathering at my place.
Love you ... you are still the lady who inspired me to go work at the zoo... which I did for 5 years... and that was ages ago ... so we go way back.

Hi @Lapis_Anteater
Thank you for message and support.
I have had ongoing stress at work, health issues and my parents' health declining. And my depression, and anxiety, getting worse, over the last six months. At the end of last year, I collapsed and was unconscious. I think that was the trigger for what is happening, and also a very toxic work environment. And also, a difficult family dynamic and it just adds to the stress and pressure at times.
I'm hoping, I improve too. I have about ten days off work atm. I'm going to spend a few days, trying to do as little as possible. I need to switch off my brain for a bit.
