Roller coaster

[Lilo_and_Stitch]

Since I can remember I’ve had anxiety. Over the last ten years I’ve noticed depression and every year seems to get worse. Things seem to be getting better for a time, but then something always seems to bring me back down. I feel very alone.

I hate that roller coaster ride as much as I hate the 'hamster wheel' in my head of over-thinking. But with therapy and my SSRI's...that has helped me. Some don't want therapy or medication for their own reasons. But to break the cycle of lows getting worse, you have to do something. You can read others who have posted about what they have done to help themselves through this....I'm glad your sharing about it.

I’ve been on medication for 3 years, and going to counseling. It has helped some but it’s still hard when I’m alone and the thoughts start going crazy in my head.
