Hello All

[aldertree]

Hiya All,

I'm fairly new to this forum so thought I would say hello. I've had depression, anxiety and got stressed for many years though had periods when I've been better. I'm seeing a therapist at the moment which is helping although very difficult at times. I have hobbies but not ones which are social. I'm trying to get the courage to go back to a drop in in the next few weeks.

Hi Aldertree Welcome!
What hobbies do you have?
Do you mind me asking you what kind of therapy you're currently having?

Hello,

Thank you very much for your replies . My hobbies are adult colouring books, listening to classical music (and occasionally other music), walking around the local park and going out for coffee. Not sure what kind of therapist I'm seeing but now in the third year of seeing her and it is making a difference. Also I've done a course in cbt but not started working it yet.

That's great, I'm so pleased it's helping you! Sorry for being nosy, I'm just curious

I love colouring too! My sister bought me a massive pack of Sharpies for my 25th next week, so I started colouring with them last night! I go to Zumba as well, and I've just started cross-stitching.

Hi, it late but welcome,

Hope you find site useful, just responded on the rant post that you commented on, but thought I’d say a quick hello here, too, so glad the therapy is working fir yiu,

I’m considering going back fir counselling if my new Doctor signs me up. Think I need some as still have intrusive thoughts , I do fight them, but still manes me think I’m not out the woods yet, regarding effects of post natal depression
