A daily battle of anxiety and depression since middle school.

I'm just hoping to find support with others.

I can completely relate. I’ve suffered severe anxiety since I was 11 with panic attacks that would lead me to A&E. Depression soon followed. You’re not alone, feel free to send me a message whenever if you ever need to chat to someone!

I may take you up on that. My family is great but I can’t stand to burden them so often.

Thank you.

I relate, for me it started right before my first year of high school

The thing is, how do I end this curse. Rather, can I have it die with me? I fear for my kids

[Lindsey14 in reply to HuckFinn74]

I wish i knew how do cure it. Its a hard battle

I'm the same I signed up to try and see if there are other people who feel the same, I feel like I'm 'abnormal' in a way, I started having anxiety attacks my final year of secondary school. Everyone around me tells me that it'll pass and that I'm overthinking everything but ive always bee like this I've always had more low days than other people... I wanna know to just be happy.

One thing that has helped me recently is that I understand that happiness doesn't seem to be the goal. Doing things that are meaningful helps balance things out a little bit more.

I still have a huge hole to fill though.
