I have suffered depression for so many years but the anxiety that has kicked in over the past 5 years has been hell sometimes it makes me feel like my mind is going to pop and most of the depression and anxiety is brought on through other people's selfish behaviour

I really relate to this. It’s best you distance yourself from the people that cause the emotions your feelings. My dad is a very selfish person who gives me loads of anxiety and I was tired of it so one day I decided to stop being in contact with him and it made things a lot better. It did suck at first and I felt terrible because he is my dad but it’s what was best for me. You need to put yourself first and work on yourself because nobody else is gonna do it for you and you may be stuck like this for quite some time if you don’t start now. Good luck xx💞
