Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here πŸ™‚

Sending you lots of understanding hugs @Chloe3 

Have you gone back to work full time ? 

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here πŸ™‚

Hi. Have long term depression. Many causes. Have complex PTSD. Having trouble reaching out for help when feeling overwhelmed. Have been disappointed before. Don't want to go round in circles again.

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here πŸ™‚

I too have long term depression so I may understand just a bit -although everyone’s experience is different and I think you must have been through a lot that i cannot hope to really understand.
Your complex PTSD must be very onerous for you and I hope you can be well supported in your struggles.
I sympathise deeply with you in your feeling of having gone round in circles and feeling overwhelmed. I sincerely hope that you will not be disappointed again.
I think I share with you a deep wish to gain some support and growth here.
I’m thinking of you and I wish you very well.

Hi I'm Alligator_Snap, I'm 19 (20 in a few days), I have anxiety, depression, possible PTSD and I'm autistic.

My current special interests are animal centred and I've joined the forums to find some peer support.

Hi @Alligator_Snap ,

 

Welcome and it's great to meet you here. Thankyou for sharing with us. Animals are truly a blessing and I think they heal no questions asked. Have a great night.

Hi @Alligator_Snap I certainly do have fur babies - they are my whole world. I have a dog called Toby and a cat called Clover. I used to have a cat we called Cat here but I lost her over a year ago after a long battle with cancer. She is buried in a special place in my garden so I can 'visit' her whenever I want/need. My other two ratbags get on really well - Clover loves to pounce on Toby and then run away. Occasionally he catches up and they wrestle - it is adorable. I have also seen many times Tobes running up the hallway with a Clover attached to him - usually by his tail - they do give me so much joy.

 

I also have depression, anxiety and CPTSD - all managed at present so whilst I am mindful of what I need to do to keep managing each, I am also able to work and 'live life' a bit more than I once could. Coming from where I was to now has been a very long process but it would never had happened without the amazing support from members and staff of SANE. I hope we can support you as much as you need and you find a place here in the community also.

 

Thanks @tyme for tagging me here - you know any chance to talk about my fur babies would do it lol

I think most mammals are great but I do have a certain affinity for reptiles, I chose my username after alligator snapping turtles πŸ™‚
Aww cute, what's their name?
