I'm new here to the site and forum, but I wanted to do what I would normally not do which is to start participating right away. I have been in a pretty severe depressive, mixed state episode now for 6 - 8 weeks and I'm reaching out for support. It's been awhile since I've been a part of any support related to mood disorders and I realize I need to get more active and involved as I feel myself slipping. Thank you for being here!
