I'm 41 and I have anxiety and depression, I've had it since I was in middle school. I was teased and picked on by other kids because I was a chunky, I've always struggled with my weight and that adds to my anxiety and my depression. It became worse after the birth of my oldest son and so my parents had to step in and raise him, then 20 months later I had a set of twins and I did everything I could to raise them but again my parents had to step in. From there things went down from there, I was on a self destruct mode, I tried drugs and bounced from place to place and struggled to keep a job. When I met my husband I felt normal for once, he helped me in so many ways, then tragically I lost him in 2014 and I've struggled ever since. I take my meds everyday but I still struggle. Now my kids are grown up and I feel lost and alone, and losing what support I have left
