Hello! Welcome to Psych Central! Well, you've joined the right place. Use the forums as a self-help tool, take from it what helps and discard the rest. You'll find sharing with others here helps, you are not alone. I'm glad you have some in real life support too, therapy is very helpful. Medication can be useful too. It's about building up a good toolbox of coping strategies for those times when you need. It's about finding out what things help you.
