Dealing with depression and anxiety are hard enough now it feels like the whole world has gone crazy. Not sure it’s even worth the fight anymore.

Hi there my friend I'm sorry your feeling so low at the moment but believe me when I say your not alone we've all felt so low that life seems cheap and we feel like the cost is high! But the best thing is to have a good support network of friends and family it's half the battle if you can call in support! I've been dealing with anxiety and depression for more years than I care to count I find taking in one day at a time try not to live in the past especially if events there maybe hurtful try and life for today and the future will take care of its self and stay safe david

It's easy to feel that way. Society can be very unpredictable and people can disappoint. The important thing is to use this time to grow the strength in yourself. I see it in myself and strength is a wonderful antidepressant. Don't let the chaotic world pull you into a hole.

I wish you all the best.

Hello,

Sorry you are going through such a rough time. Please stay strong. We are here for each other. Support groups are very helpful, it will help you not to feel alone and less lonely. So keep posting.

I have a sister who was diagnosed with anxiety but she refused professional counselling. My family is her support group. I talk to her almost everyday about anything just to let her know that she’s not alone. Her mood is improving now.

Praying for you for strength and peace to help you remain hopeful everyday. Keep us posted.

I appreciate all your kind words. I have felt so alone in my pain. I don’t talk to my friends and family about what I’m going through because they don’t really understand and I don’t want to burden them. I’ve tried so many different medications and therapy that it feels like nothing will ever help me. I’m trying so hard to change my mindset.

We are all trying, day by day, to achieve peace and self comfort. It’s not easy. There’s pain along the way and some of us can handle the pain well and others not as much. I’m in the not so much category. But I know my challenges so I try to be kind to myself. Describing our pain to others is near impossible, that’s part of the burden on ourselves. Accepting who we are maybe would bring peace.

I try to give myself grace also but inevitably find myself beating me up for not being “normal “
