Why...

[Dobby-Luly]

I’ve been living with sadness and anxiety for years, but as recent as yesterday I was diagnosed with MDD and GAD taking an antidepressant. How have you all managed those feelings of impotence. How have you remained positive through all of this. I always question why, and I tell myself how worthless I am. I’ve been going through a lot and to make things worse, bad decision/actions I did are haunting me. I want to be better but I don’t know how. I just want to disappear

Hello Dob! You are not your diagnosis. You are a person with a diagnosis. I believe any human being who went in under the right circumstances will come up with some kind of diagnosis. Everybody has made mistakes and bad choices… Including myself recently. That’s the human condition. Put it in the past every day is a new day to start over. You want to be better… That means you’re a good person. Trust me, nobody’s perfect we’re all just a work in progress.
