Hello
My name is kuziya I just signed up. I've been reading around a bit and honestly I'm...this might sound wrong, but I'm glad I'm not alone.

I'm twenty_six_years_old and I know i have depression. It comes and goes. Sometimes it won't be triggered by anything at all so i really don't understand why it keeps happening.
I'm sort of in a better place than I used to be though. Sort of is used loosely. I mean I know it's bad, but back then I used to cut. My friends stopped me, but sometimes I still get urges. Enough about that though.
I didn't know I had anxiety until my friend told me. Well I knew something was going on because when i was worried or scared my heart would beat fast and my chest would hurt. Lol I'm nervous now. I'm really shy so doing something like this...well yeah I don't know rofl. Anyway Hi I like this forum and hopefully everything will work out.

Welcome to the forum and you are right that you are not alone in the way you feel.

Hi and welcome :)

You aren't alone but anxiety likes making you think you're the ONLY person in the world who has it or has ever had it, despite millions of years of evolution and billions of people. I think of it as this little monster who sits there telling me noone has ever been as anxious or depressed as me.

I like your location ;)

That's a good way to look at it. Depressions is too sort of although i feel like it's a loud you know it comes and goes when it wants.

Anxiety can make people want to be the same way because they worry about looking weird or feeling like running away due to an attack :(
