Hello Everyone!

So happy to have found this place. Been in depression mode for the last couple months, and it's really nice to find a place with so many like minded people. Even a little bit of posting and sharing has helped me. We are all in this fight together, and I hope to interact a lot.
I just want to say thanks for having me here!
