Hi
Hi, my name is Dan and I am new to this board. I have had struggles with depression and anxiety, though these days more-so anxiety than depression. I've been getting psychiatric help for my issues for about a year now and it's been going well so far, though I still struggle much with anxiety at times and always find myself mentally beating myself over awkward moments in conversations with other people. Anyway, just want to introduce myself, so - hi! - Dan

Re: Hi
Hi Manuel, nice to meet you! I find it helps a little to have some "go-to" quotes saved on my phone's note app about the issue to provide some consolation when I'm stressed out about an awkward/embarrassing conversation I had, or some other type of blunder. Here's 2 that I go to a lot:
“Every person, if he is to have mental health and live successfully, must move away from past failures and mistakes and go forward without letting them be a weight upon him. The art of forgetting is absolutely necessary.” - Norman Peale
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
