Hi Everyone - I just joined a week ago as a listener. I'm probably the oldest person in the room - retiring soon! I struggled for a lot of my life with anxiety and depression. Recently, I was diagnosed with adult AD"HD (better late than never! ) - which makes SO much sense in retrospect! I've been in good place for over 10 years. Five years ago, I was ordained as a Zen Buddhist priest. I'd like to serve others in this community by listening compassionately and letting people know they are not alone. To be heard and to feel the understanding of others I think is something we need more of in this world! About me - I love to read and create art - garden - catch up with my kids - and spend time with my husband of 30 years and our boxer dog, Henry. I'm glad to be here!
@lotuswarriorrising glad to meet you. I am not sure what retirement age is where you are but I retired 9 years ago so do not feel like you are the oldest. There are lots of very experienced people here.
Thanks for joining as a listerner. Your background should serve you well. You also might want to check the calendar for topic discussions. People need support there also and sometimes people meet their listerner there as well as browsing for listeners.
@lotuswarriorrisingHi there! 🌟 Welcome to the community! It's wonderful to have you here, especially with your wealth of experience and compassionate heart. Your journey and insights are truly inspiring, and your presence will surely be a great support to many. Thank you for offering your listening ear and understanding. 😊💕 Your love for reading, art, and gardening sounds amazing, and spending time with your family and Henry must be so fulfilling. We're glad to have you here! 🧡✨
@lotuswarriorrisingWelcome! Your empathy is appreciated. Take a look at the Welcome Pack (blue text is clickable)

HI everyone! I'm intelligentAcres200. I'm finally opening up and considering therapy. I have never felt a need for therapy, but I've had a rough year so far, and it only seems to be getting more difficult. I've lost a few loved ones, but I started a new relationship. Now, I'm having some issues in the relationship that are making my anxiety levels skyrocket. I felt this was the best course of action...

I am sorry you are having challenges but it sounds like you have a plan for therapy and how that may help you. 7 Cups has the free listeners if you ever feel like you just need to be heard. https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/

@intelligentAcres200Hi intelligentAcres200! 🌟 I'm really proud of you for taking this step and opening up. It sounds like you've been through a lot this year, and reaching out for support is a big move. Losing loved ones and navigating a new relationship can be really challenging, especially when anxiety comes into play. Therapy can be a great way to work through these feelings. I hope you find the support you need here. 😊💕

Hey everyone! Brand new here and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Blaine and I'm a 37 year old male looking to make some new friends and connections.
