I am an old woman that continues to struggle with anxiety and depression. At some points in my life, it was so bad that I could not get out of bed. At other times, it is minimal. Because you are STILL breathing, you have the opportunity to make positive decisions and positive changes. I KNOW that you can do this and it is DIFFICULT and TOTALLY obtainable. Start talking to someone that will keep your story sacred. Talking, I find is the MOST helpful. I just want you to know that I have messed up BIG in my life. humiliating/shameful mess-ups and I am a different person NOW. I used to beat myself up and sometimes still do. NOW, I say to myself: "yes, I did ALL of that, but guess what I don't do it anymore. so I am a better person and that is what matters."

There's an old saying "this too shall pass." Whatever has happened in your life, you are stronger than you realize. Take a deep slow breath and get through the next 15 minutes. Look around for one little thing that brings you happiness and focus on it.

It's easier said than done to just put a stop to it, isn't it?! Just remember you won't lose EVERYTHING. You can still have your own energy and love and self. And you aren't alone. If you need help just ask, even if it's just talking to me over a computer. I would love to help.
