The most I can say for now about me

Hello everyone, I am 28 years old and I used to have depression and anxiety, after my last suicide attempt at 21, I decided that I will live and find out what makes people get like that and how people feel like that and will live for those that gave up.It took me some years of self learning and growth but I managed to get to a place where I have just bits of anxiety. My biggest problem now is finding a stable job, as in most of my jobs, I agree with my employers with one thing, and then they stronghand me in other departments.

I hope one day I will be able to share my full story on why have I gotten here, but I want to be able to monetize that past at least.

Hi. I’m the same age and my last attempt was 2 years ago. How did you get over your depression and most of your anxiety? That’s amazing that you’ve turned your life around and now want to give back. Only those who’ve gone through mental health know how to help others, in my opinion. Stay strong. Please share advice if you have it.

Congrats Anxietyst, you've come far. It can happen for each and every one of

us when enough becomes enough. We are not willing to give up on life but rather

find out what brought us to this stage and do something positive to go forward.

That is how we learn more about ourselves. As we self learn, we grow and we learn to love ourselves. Can't help anyone us until we help ourselves. . I'm so glad you found us.

Happy to welcome you as you share more of your life's journey with us. :) x
