I think I suffer from SAD...seasonal affect depression. I'm loving the weather so far. I get up most days and go for a walk it really does help with the fatigue, mental health issues and overall mood. How are you guys.

Depression

Hello, How does each individual deal with depression, anxiety and loneliness? I feel deeply isolated. Has anyone experienced theses type of emotions in the past or currently now? If so, what type of support system did you utilize? Was the outcome beneficial to you?
