Battling severe depression and anxiety

[luna25]

Hi. I’m trying to connect with others who battle severe depression and anxiety on a daily basis. I’ve been battling this since childhood. I’m 35 now and still struggling.

Hi Luna, I am 39 and battle this as well. I used to be able to work but had a breakdown last year and it’s been a major depressive episode since.

I’m sorry you’ve had to feel that way for so long. But you’re not alone. I had anxiety as well, and it’s inhibiting my life in some ways. I don’t use substances to cope because that’s a choice I’ve decided to make but I do recommend for anyone to be physically healthy, which will lead to helping your mental health. Exercise, eat and drink healthy foods, self-care and do things that are relaxing. I recommend yoga and meditation because you can focus on breathing and stretching out tension. Writing, coloring/painting is very good. I try to make something good out of these horrible feelings I can get so be creative, comfort yourself like you’re the parent of yourself. Because as an adult you are. Live now, your past doesn’t define you. Allow change to take over and have good perspectives ☺️

I battle every day. Some days worse than others. I’m 30 and I can remember my first panic attack. I was 8 years old. 22 years of dealing with anxiety. I’m exhausted.
