Do you ever look back to your old self, and even if it's to a time that wasn't terribly great, but it was still better than now? Like you have become a shell of your former self. And you wish more than anything to get back to being the person you were? A person who wasn't so scared all the time, or frustrated and easily irritated. When you had your anger and depressing thoughts in check. Does anyone feel like this has changed who they are? And is afraid that you won't be able to be the person you were before ever again. What do you do when you feel as though you've lost yourself and you don't like what anxiety and depression has made you into. I don't want to be this way anymore, I don't want to be so negative and upset all the time. I want to feel like me again; the real me. How do you cope with the fact that you might stay changed forever? Ever question who you are anymore, because I do, constantly. And I hate it. My disorder has caused me to lose so much already, including losing sight of who I truly am. How do you fight back to something like that?

I feel the exact same way. It is an awful way to live. I wake up everyday afraid of the upcoming day. I miss the good days...even the semi good days. I have been fighting for years. I have had some good weeks in between, but mostly bad. I wish I could help you! Just know that you aren't alone and hopefully someone on this site will help us!
I feel this way often. Very often, in fact. I haven't figured out how to deal with it either, so I can't offer much advice. But you're not alone.
