Hi Colleen - I am also new and have been putting off talking to a professional due to time restrictions as I am trying to not take time off of work to get help. I feel more comfortable online.
I have had anxiety in the past but most recently it has been spiked from an incident at work and now I feel worse than I ever have. After taking the depression test I was surprised to find out that I scored in the severe range.
I just started this program today - I am hoping it will be successful!
