Living with depression and anxiety: my journey

Hi everyone, I'm doing this in the hope it encourages others going through depression and/or anxiety to speak out and to not suffer in silence. Please like, comment and subscribe and I will do my best to reply back to anyone that reaches out to me. I'm new to KZbin so it may take me a while to get used to it all! I will be doing a weekly vlog and posting every Sunday. For anyone suffering, here are some useful links you may want to look at. Please remember, you are not alone. Thanks guys, Ryan
