Newbie here

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, and joining an online forum is new to me too. I guess I've always found it easier to express myself through writing than by saying things out loud.

Lately, I've been feeling a bit lost, in my relationships, my job, and even within myself. I live with ADHD, depression, anxiety, and the effects of trauma. Some days feel like a battle, but I also try to acknowledge how much progress I've made over the years through therapy, challenging myself, allowing myself to feel my emotions, and reaching out for help when I need it.

I thought I'd join this space to read other people's stories, share some of my own, and hopefully offer support to others whenever I can.

Anyway, thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this :)

Re: Newbie here

Hey @bloom91 sorry to hear about your shoulder. How did the ultrasound go today? Osteo sounds good re tomorrow. Hope you find it helpful 🙏. Glad the shoulder isn’t getting you too down emotionally and it’s always a great feeling on our good days re emotions - definitely appreciate that one myself 🤩☀️.

I am alright chugging along 😎. Do you follow sport? If so did you watch the origin last night ☺️🔵🔵

Re: Newbie here

Good morning @Chasingsunsets

My ultrasound went well, and the results came back clear. They couldn't find anything, so the next step is to have an MRI to see if I might have a pinched nerve. I have another osteo appointment this afternoon, it's definitely been helping and giving me some relief!

Yeah, it's so hard feeling up and down all the time, but I'm getting there 🙂

I do follow the NRL! I watched the game. How are you going? Also, I'm sorry for the late reply. It's been a busy week, and I haven't been on here much, but I hope you've been doing well

Re: Newbie here

Yes, I went down very suddenly today.

I know what triggered it. I won't go into detail.

I also have ADHD and have had a bout of grief recently about how hard it has been.
