Getting through life somehow

[Kat63]

I have a feeling that anxiety and depression never totally disappear....but they go into remission for periods of time. I’m beginning to think maybe life is about making the most of the remissions, and coping as best we can with the times when anxiety or depression is strong.

But I do wish that anxiety would go away and leave me alone forever.

I totally agree. I was in “remission” for a few years until a stressful time at work last year. It re-triggered all of my anxiety and depression and I haven’t been able to pull out of it. I do desperately wish there was a way for this anxiety and depression to leave forever. I love your comment about making the most out of the remissions and the good times. 💜

My experience is that depression and anxiety are never something that you solve, you just learns to live with it best you can. When I've been busy are the times I live with it the best. Now that I'm retired and slowing down I'm have troubles again.
