Introduction

[Emsarah1227]

Hello. My name is Emily. Not real sure how to introduce myself. I'm 24 years old from West Virginia USA. I've been told I'm gifted but I'm just not sure. I've been rather depressed lately, and nothing seems to work in my favor. I'm a family person, and would do anything for my niece and nephew. I was going to school for elementary education.

Nice to meet you Emily, its hard at first with people saying you are gfited. Confidence with validation on your gifts helps. what sort of gifts do you have ?
I am Akasha as well as Helen the global mod and co founder on here by the way. I understand depression. I am a qualified counsellor and also had a lot of years where i suffered depression in my past. Its an unseen illness which can leave you feeling isolated. Anybodythere is a wonderful place to come and work through this. We have some lovely members here. Most are empathic and understanding with similar gifts to yourself.
Welcome.x

nice to meet you,
in a way depression, and anxiety, brought me here too. I had the overwhelming need to speak to SOMEONE. As i was lost and confused i felt a psychic or medium would be a good option- i trust their intuition and clarity. So I found this place. They have been very welcoming and nurturing. The problems are on their way to being resolved but mostly the pressure is off- meaning things have enough calm to work themselves out. Don't be afraid to ask for guidance or advice, there seems to always be someone there whos happy to help.

Hi Emily,

Welcome to anybodythere :) Good to have you join us
I'm sorry you're going through a lot at the moment. It's good to talk about depression and it's good to see others being open about how things are.. it helps break through stigma - in saying that i'm sorry to hear things have been difficult, hugs
It's comforting to know we are here for each other in times of need. Lots of people are drawn to anybodythere during difficult times in their lives, especially during bereavements. I was once in those shoes. But I never turned back. I really hope ABT makes a difference for you as it did me. Starting with your gifts and learning what is what there. As Helen says.. everyone here is friendly and the best thing, nobody will judge you for talking about your experiences :)
so I hope you feel comfortable.

See you around the site and take good care
Samj

Welcome to ABT. I'm bipolar. So. I can sympathize with your depression. Depression is so much more than a blue mood. You can pull yourself out of a blue mood. You can't pull yourself out of depression, unfortunately. I wish you all the good luck in the world and know that you can come HERE and talk to us. Even, if it feels like no one else is listening. And again, welcome. :)
