Will it ever get better?

[msmit515]

It's been 10 years and I'm still struggling. This past year has been the hardest though for sure. My anxiety and depression just controls my life and I feel like nothing helps.

Sorry to hear about your struggles. What type of anxiety do you have and What have you tried for it?

[msmit515 in reply to Julie_z]

Mostly health anxiety but I get anxiety going into crowded places too. I've tried many medications and I'm on lexapro and Ativan now. I'm also currently in CBT therapy.

Hi there , I totally feel the same buthowre you finding CBT ? I started to expose myself to crowed places like shopping etc and find them more bearable, I still have a limit where I feel I need to get out but it's not as bad as it once was!

Going on 16 years. I was an alcoholic for 10. That's how I coped. There are a ton of different therapies and medications and practices. Lots of hope!

I know exactly how you are feeling! I had been dealing with social anxiety since childhood to which it had been one difficulty road from that moment to now. Although I have to say that the road towards healing takes time, it will come. I, myself is still struggling to this day. I often experience these sudden painful attacks that’s simply unexplainable but those years in the middle where I had dealt with depression around age 14-17 had personally felt impossible to get out of and I don’t even know how I managed to heal from that painful period experience but what I will tell you is that IT WILL GET BETTER. I know that this is easier said than done, but believe me that this road to recovery is one heck of an roller coaster, to which you will have bad days but good days will raise too. you can get through this, step by step, little by little each day forward. This will pass. I always remind myself these days that the battles I am facing is ONLY TEMPORARY and it is shaping me into that stronger individual

STAY IN FAITH. TRUST THAT LONG PROGRESS TO HEALING WILL ARRIVE. AND KNOW THAT BEAUTIFUL DESTINATION WILL ARRIVE TO WHERE THE DREAMS PLACED WITHIN YOUR HEART WILL COME INTO PLACE.

DO NOT GIVE UP.

I had spent 14 years dealing with the battles being faced ...

IT TAKES TIME.

KEEP THAT STRENGTH and know that YOU WILL get pass this hurt feeling.

I believe in you that you will!
