Hello all, I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression 13 yrs. ago. Attempted suicide 8 yrs. ago. My anxiety has been really bad after my Mother's sudden death in November, she was my go to person for support. She also had anxiety and depression and understood how I felt.

Hi, hope things improve for you soon.

I am so sorry for your loss Cyndy_lou.....I can't imagine what you must feel loosing your go to person, your mom. But I'm sure she would very much want to know that your going to fight this battle. It is a war sometimes when all we want to do is be happy and know there is joy in this world and we don't know how. It's a very difficult thing sometimes, and for you I'm sure it's especially hard right now. I am very glad your here, I really know how dark life can get when we get that feeling of hopelessness....fight it, find some way to help yourself beat this....are you in therapy, are you taking meds, and if your not wanting to take meds have you sought out other alternatives to help. Many of us here, as you can see, hundreds and hundreds too are fighting our own battles to feeling healthy and having a good life....so you are not alone....

Please read some other stories and you will find some you can relate to some, and others you feel compassion for their pain and struggle as well. A huge part of me getting better is doing exactly this....writing.....I am a writer in my retirement, but a big part of my healing is reading posts here, posting my stuff, and commenting and meeting others like me.

So sorry you are going through all of this! Please remember you aren’t alone. Good for you for reaching out and talking to others! I know it’s hard, but you are going to get through this. Call your doctor/therapist and trust that this will pass.
