After several months of treatment I thought I was getting really better; actually I moved, started a new life and It seemed like after many years my depression an anxiety are almost leaving me alone. I was wrong. I experienced something hard lately that put me down with a big hit in my self confidence and self esteem.
And I am here again, with this permanent sadness mood, wanting to cry all the time and the anxiety attacks are happening very often. I am not only feeling bad because it is happening again but because I am kind of disappointed on me and on my strength.

Think of where you've been and how you got there. Rebuild, block by block, your self-confidence. Whatever or whoever undid the blocks you built up...it's time to dismiss them or this circumstance when you're ready. It's like a Lego set....someone tore up your awesome building. Well, we'll build it back again. You've come a long way and sometimes we are thrown from our "good place". So we get back on the horse. The proof is that you've done it once and it is time to do it again....I know that can be difficult depending on the situation. I am sorry you were in such a good place and something shook it. It happens to all of us here....on a good streak and then bam....to the ground like Ali hit us. But, if we get up, dust off, and get back to our basics in coping or whatever you might use, there's no reason we cannot succeed yet again. You can do this...we're all cheering you on.
Those are very sweet things. Thanks for your support. I am not consulting anyone since I am kind of new in the place I live now. But I get these words from you and it’s like fresh air. Thank you from my heart
Hello Esther. I am trying to be better. The situation is not improving but I am working on my mood. Is not easy to improve fast, or let’s say the fast I need (or want). If you have any tip please let me know. Thanks for your message and your love. It’s amazing you remember me.
Hi! It is so good to hear from you. I can tell you what (has and) does work in my life, and it begins with how I start my day. I get up and start reading the Bible, pray, and then go about life. It doesn't mean that life is perfect because we all know that life is filled with ups and downs...valleys and mountaintops. Right?
Living life is about the journey of learning to let go and let God. I learned years ago that I can not do this thing called "life" without the Lord in it...because everything else is just fleeting in its satisfaction. The Lord is constant. He never leaves me and is always there when I need a friend, confidant, or counselor.
It is not always easy to share how we feel, so I find that prayer and talking with the Lord is my safe place. I can crawl up into His lap and tell him about my troubles and then through His Word, I find comfort, peace, and direction. I also have some great Christian friends who are there to pray with me when times are difficult.
I hope this helps. I know it has sure changed my life in so many positive ways.
I’m so sorry that you had a relapse but so proud of you for starting over again. It really feels heartbreaking to be back in the same place again yet if y’ did it before, it is possible again.
