    I have bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, ADHD and a sleep disorder. A better diet and physical activity combine nicely with my medication cocktail to regulate my mood! Anyone is welcome to add me. :-)

    First diagnosed with depression at 12, general anxiety/panic attacks at 16, social anxiety at 18. Now married to a spouse with SAD and suspected PTSD, and a toddler with a sleep disorder chronic separation anxiety and is on the spectrum, we're a veritable hot pot o'crazy over here :P

    Feel free to add me anyone, I am finding exercise is really helping with all aspects of my mental health, and figure losing some of the weight all the meds have helped me put on will only help too.

    Depression and generalized anxiety here. Been dealing with it since I was about 18. I feel 100x better when eating healthy and exercising but the depression often defeats my good intentions. Anyone can add me, and would love friends with similar issues. I feel very embarrassed about my diagnosis and really find it very difficult to talk about with my friends and family.

    Been in therapy a few times in my life.. was diagnosed as dysthymic at 15... I struggle with depression off and on for sure. I also have PMDD which is severe PMS. It's not just a little bad.. its breaking up with my boyfriend repeatedly... depression so bad I can't stand it, anger and hostility, irritability and then suddenly gone as soon as I start my period.

    I had a baby six months ago, doing a lot better now than when I first had her, but did experience some PPD (without any thoughts of harming myself or her, thankfully).

    Exercise helps tremendously, I'm not sure about diet. I do think eating crappy makes me feel crappy and it cycles.

    I'm diagnosed with Bipolar II. Along with mild OCD. (In high school I was diagnosed with Depression / GAD but in my twenties my psychologist said it was likely a misdiagnosis and early signs of my bipolar disorder.) Everyone can feel free to add me.

    I just came out of a downswing when I started exercising again. In the past it helped a lot. And since I've started again I have felt a lot better.

    No mental illness for me. Just wanted to wish everyone in this thread the best of luck especially OP (since you're a fellow Texan and all).
