Hi what medication are you on? Why are you scared?

[Justswimming]

It takes time to find the therapist you click with but once you do its amazingly helpful..

I agree with you, even though I am much better than where I was 5 years ago I have good days and bad days, and when they are bad I feel like I will never be better but I try and stay positive. We may never really get rid of it but you can get better. You just need to stay positive and do what you need to do to take care of yourself first. Self care is so important. Stay strong.

I know how you feel. I've struggled with depression and anxiety for years, I've been on medication and seen several therapists over the years. I have developed ways to help myself get through the tough times and I've learned how to cope and make it through the day without giving up yet. But I still have days where all that doesn't matter and I feel like I'm back at square one. On those days nothing seems to help lessen the overwhelming anxiety and all I want to do is give up. During those times all you can do is take it hour by hour or even minute by minute.
