Hello and welcome!

So sorry you were in such abusive relationships, but it's so good that you were able to recognize that and extricate yourself from that situation. Surrounding yourself with good people is so important in life. I hope you've found some others that you trust and support you. There are a lot of people out there struggling with anxiety and depression, so you're not alone. Just know that things can get so much better and people on this forum are here for you.
