Anxiety and depression

Hi Kathleen, 

I think it's a great idea to start up this blog about anxiety and depression - as it certainly needs to be addressed.  I myself suffer from panic attacks and I have a couple of people tell me "to just get over I".  I wish it was that simple.  I find that when I am tired  I am worse. 

Good on you for starting on this topic. 

Love, Ruth xxx

  • Thanks so much Ruth! I was hoping it would be a good thing! Be assured, you can't be told to "just get over it", as people think they can do with depressed persons...asking them; "so what are you depressed about?" I've put my hand up for depression counseling, and looking forward to it.  It happens to many of us, can be for many reasons, and talking about it helps I think.

    Hopefully we'll get some more members and throw some support and strategies around! 

    Love from
