Piercing question from kids...

“Mom, can anxiety kill someone?”

That question pierced right through my heart on so many levels for a million different reasons. 😔

Hi. I'm new here. Will We ever be free of depression or anxiety ?😔😒

Hello. Free of it? Probably not. It’s a fate most of us accept. The goal at hand is to manage it. Minimize it. It’s something we have to fight in order to gain quality of life. For me, medication is necessary and from there I can manage the remainder with all the education I’ve gotten on tactics. I think of it like a surgery... once “healed” you always have a scar remaining that you come to accept.

I agree with Hardlookcap. Anxiety/depression can be managed to tolerable levels.

Yes it’s almost like a break up. At first it nags your every thought ... after a while you think of it maybe a few times a day ... eventually maybe you forget it for a day here and there. But like with a person, it never fully erases from your mind. I’ve learned that helping others actually helps me too!
