I've been fighting anxiety and depression for years and I'm just so tired. I don't know what to do. I'm surrounded by so many happy people and feel suffocated. I'm honestly giving up.

You've certainly come to the right place. But please don't give up! You've definitely heard this a million times but your life is not worth giving up on.

You are bound to have a wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, sibling, parent, children, pet or even a neighbor that would be truly devastated if you did decide to really give up.

I've had anxiety and depression for so long now and I know just how you feel but so does many people on this forum and I guarantee I won't be the only person to reply on here! Please feel free to private message me on here for a chat about anything! Can be about your life or your cat!

I wish you well

Rogue21, You don't know if those people are happy. Don't compare. Focus on you. I am 60 and have had depression and OCD on and off for years. It is treatable. It takes time and patience. So many of us get depression relapses. It's normal. You need a therapist and meds. I am sure you know this. Don't give up. It's temporary. We are here for each other.
