Never thought I would be "that" person. Yet here I am. So much love and respect for those struggling. I get it now. I'm a mess & deserve it.

I won't give you a sob story. I've been through some traumatic times for sure. I am not ready to share deets yet. But always handled them well. I was actually known as the "ice queen" amongst friends and family for my steady emotions and good judgement in stressful situations. Not so much anymore. I don't know wtf happened to me in the past year but working so hard to fix it. Started Lexapro about 4 weeks ago. Eating healthy. Working out. But I still miss me....will I come back? 2 suicide attempts in the last 2 months. Not proud. Or looking for sympathy.

I don’t know what your specifics are. I do know life can change and improve. I am so glad your attempts were not successful! Your lexapro should have kicked in by now. Check with your doctor. ❤️

To say that we “deserve “ anxiety & depression is flawed thought process . What we deserve is a good life. Remember you are loved , you are worthy, you are enough ....

[Advntrgirl in reply to Rlich]

Thank you. That means so much.Truly. I've never felt so alone 😊 Usually embrace it. Working on it obv.

People heal from this crap. You're people. You can heal. In the meantime - download audiobooks by Dr. Claire Weekes. I think it would help you. She's kind of my hero.

[Advntrgirl in reply to JAYnLA]

I will..thank you! Feel like I need a new hobby or re-focus. This may be it.

[Advntrgirl in reply to Advntrgirl]

Doing it now. Perfect sat morning positivity. Thanks again!

Hi not sympathy but empathy as I think we all understand how this feels. You don't deserve it and this is the depression talking. These are false thoughts so don't listen to them. I am glad you are getting some help. You are doing all the right things but don't forget it can take 6 weeks for the meds to get fully into your system and until then you can feel a bit worse. You will get yourself back in time so hold on and have faith. x

[Advntrgirl in reply to hypercat54]

Thank you! Your support means everything.

[hypercat54 in reply to Advntrgirl]

You are welcome. Been there done that.. xx

there are ups and downs, times change and one thing i can tell you.. is to wait. in the midst of storms, we quickly want to get out, or have the answer to everything and miss the teaching behind the storm. Dont be too hard on yourself, i am happy your attempts were not successful. we are here if you need to talk!

[Advntrgirl in reply to growinrace]

Thank you. Really trying to work on my patience. Not my forte obv. But we'll get there. I do see a light at the end of the tunnel so trying to focus on that. Thank you again.
