#TimeToTalk

Hi. I'm Danni and I have Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I'm presently  untreated, and unmedicated.

Re-Entry into Society – Shields Up!

I've been in hiding for a while. Like a few years a while. It's partly depression - sometimes I can can hear my brain screaming at me that we should leave the house, and my body just shrugs and says, "Couch is nice. Couch is life." It's partly anxiety - there are people out there …
