I'm very glad to hear you're off alcohol and starting to take real medication to help with your depression. Getting your brain chemistry in check can be a journey, and I hope it works out for you. A few months is just the start. Your perfect mix could be right around the corner. Good luck, stay strong.

Oh no please don’t think that, I know it’s hard especially this time of year, seeing happy families. As soon as I start feeling anxious I realize they are just feelings and let them pass, it’s hard I know but believe you will overcome this, try doing small things and don’t push yourself I’ll be thinking of you, you’re stronger than you think.

Thank you 🙏🏾

So sorry you’re feeling this way. I completely relate to how you’re feeling. It’s like everyday is filled with so many ups and downs you just don’t now how to prepare. One positive thing I guess from experiencing depression and anxiety is we become much more aware of our bodies and minds. I used to just always push through the down cycles and would ultimately push myself too far. Now I know it’s ok to just take a break and be kind to myself for a few hours or even the day if I can. There is no right or wrong way. It’s really, really hard. I pray for me, you, the people on this forum and everyone hurting with these illnesses each and every day!! You’re doing a great job no matter where you are💜

tamka - I know the feeling - I wish i could be happy and relaxed- all the time but it is tough. When I get really bummed out I think of things that make me happy and try to get the negative stuff out of my swirling mind. Easier said then done but keep looking forward
