Wish I didn’t suffer with depression/anxiety

[Dolphin80]

Hi, I’m new to this group and so far it’s really helping so I can get support for my depression/ anxiety. I’ve been dealing with them for most of my life. Wish I didn’t have to. Sometimes I hate myself for it. But just knowing that I’m not alone, really helps me. I just hate the severe panic attacks I’m currently having.

Hi and welcome! I always had issues blaming myself and hating myself for my anxiety. But I have been working on being patient with myself and reminding myself that it’s chemicals in my brain and there’s nothing wrong with me and it’s not my fault.

Hello Dolphin80, am sorry to hear that you are dealing with anxiety and depression. I know it can be too much sometime to handle but will let you know that you are survivor. If you have survived it till now, then you’ve got what it takes to deal with this. Don’t beat yourself too much over something you don’t have control over. Keep hope alive and stay strong till you can beat this depression and anxiety. Be the loudest positive voice in your head. Instead of being anxious of what you think may happen rather think of ways you can handle it and overcome the challenge or task. You are welcome inboard to the forum.
