   <p>Dear Anonymous, <br> <br> I am very glad that you reached out about the anxiety and depression you are experiencing because it can be so hard to share these things. It sounds like you are going through so much right now, and that there is great pressure on you. It is understandable that you are feeling depressed and anxious given all that is happening. I don't know how to answer your question about how to win this, but I can sense you have a mission to help others through your nursing career, so facing barriers to this goal must be so difficult. <br> <br> Please let us know how you are doing and if you are able to find support for all you are facing. <br> <br> Sincerely, <br> <br> Liz Green, <a href='http://H-I-V.net' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>H-I-V.net</a> Team Member</p>

   <p>Alafia (Peace) <inline-mention user-id="2047269" username="oneintwo"/> , I am so sorry to hear about your experience. Have you spoken to your provider? I might try getting out of the house and taking a long work. Getting some sun and exercise might be just what you need. Khafre (Team Member)</p>

   <p>Hi <inline-mention user-id="2047269" username="oneintwo"/> I am sorry you are feeling the challenges of the last year. First, remind yourself that these bumps in the road are only temporary, and everything happens for a reason. And mostly, be patient with yourself. It sounds like you have been going through a lot. Sometimes when my anxiety gets the best of me, I write it all down, get it all out of my head and then spend time doing something for myself (maybe a bubble bath, or watching your favorite movie). Stay strong, and we are here if you need! - Ze (Team Member)</p>

      <p><inline-mention username="Khafre Kujichagulia Abif" user-id="2046187"/> Couldn&#39;t know how I do live off with no love, my status made unemployed cos I was deported from one of the gulf countries, the financial burden makes me think of suicide, I&#39;ve sorted for scholarships to advance my education, it&#39;s been effortless.. Please I need a shoulder to cry and lean to.. Someone to believe me. </p>

      <p><inline-mention username="oneintwo" user-id="2047269"/> I&#39;m so glad you checked in with us again. We are here to listen. It also sounds like you are dealing with some really difficult barriers and if you are worried about your mental health, maybe we can send you some resources that would help. Just let us know.<br/><br/><br/> I know since we last spoke, we published an article about the Global Commission on HIV, and I will link it here in case it is helpful. Let us know what you think about this article - https://h-i-v.net/living/global-commission<br/><br/><br/>Best,<br/>Liz (Team Member)</p>
