Depression

[Crystal1982]

I'm 34 years old and I suffer from depression and anxiety sometimes I have thoughts of taking my own life because I feel like I'm ugly and I'm not worth living

Hi Crystal,

I have been there too. My favourite quote now is LIFE IS FOR LIVING THE BEST WAY I KNOW HOW.

Please see your doctor to discuss how you are thinking and feeling. There is no shame in reaching out for help. Your doctor will have lots of anxiety and depression management ideas to make a difference in your life.

Be prepared to be honest with yourself and the doctor. Even be prepared for lots of tears when you tell your story. You will be relieved when you share your story, not matter how hard it is.

Maybe you can try massage therapy or acupuncture to help you feel better.
