Hi Molly! I'm 53 and have been having problems with depression and anxiety since I was in my mid-20s.

I used to have a lot longer list of things that gave me hope, but now I'm pretty much down to one big one: I've been through several episodes of illness, now, and I always eventually get better. Not completely well, but much healthier emotionally.

This is a good community to share your thoughts and feelings with people who are having similar problems. I find that it provides me with emotional support and information and ideas for treatment sometimes, too.

Glad you're here.
