I would like to chat with people with complex mental health issues and hopefully can share experiences and insights. Support each other etc…         I struggle with chronic depression, anxiety, ptsd, bipolar, asd1 and adhd. Am a survivor from childhood trauma. Am an older person. Thanks for reading

Hey @Maria2 ,

Welcome to the forums!

It's great you can connect with us. We have adult members of all ages and walks of life.

Thank you for sharing a little about yourself. I hope you find these forums helpful as you connect with people.

I myself have had my own mental health struggles and found these forums invaluable in supporting my recovery.

What are some things you do to keep well?

Hi and welcome, @Maria2 , it's good to have you here 🙂 That sounds like quite a bit you are suffering from 😢

I also have childhood trauma that I've received some healing from through therapy. Do you have a therapist? 

You can type anything (e.g. PTSD) into the Search bar above to find threads on that topic.

Also, an important forum tip to tag someone is to type @ and then click on their name in the drop-down box - that way they'll get a notification that you've replied to them and won't miss your reply. 

I hope you find the forums supportive...
