Born in London, England. Lived mostly in Alberta, Canada. I'm a registered nurse. I've been clean for 17yrs. I've suffered from depression off and on since my early 20's. Mild anxiety started more recently. I've suffered from bulimia since 2005.

I've lost 65lbs in the last 2yrs.

I started to get little red flags....more like yellow flags ๐Ÿ˜....behaviors that mean I could be seeing the beginnings of a depression. Very scary. I don't want to go back there ๐Ÿ˜ณ.

It was rough because I also had liver failure wish made the starvation really painful. My neighbors left a bag of cat food at my door to eat to LOL at me for starving after my house burned down.

Nice

My Probation officer brought me a big bag of food from Ralphs immediately when he heard I was starving. This really encouraged me that somebody cared about and remembered me and took immediate action to do something about this. He also brought a Mental Health officer to see if I needed any additional assistance.

They're not as horrible as Youtube makes you think... They're friendly and helpful too...

So happy ๐Ÿ˜€ that your probation

officer was so kind to U. But always remember if GOD forbid U have a huge loss again U need to eat light food in small amounts. This protects U

from dangerous things Iโ€™m here 4 U

Like I said my father was a child Holocaust survivor over 90% of his family was slaughtered by the Nazis in the concentration camps by Nazi sympathizers,etc. Because of my knowledge these horrors and the physical and psychological scars they left behind, I chose to be a compassionate person. Iโ€™m so happy ๐Ÿ˜€ that U R in a better place.

Hugs ๐Ÿค— S

A terrible time for many. I grew up hearing of such horrific things. My British parents were kids during WWII so they would talk about different things they remembered etc.

How did you get better with anxiety/depression?

Kellybug profile image
Kellybugโ€ข in reply toFearIsALiar

Counselling, trying different medications till I hit the right one, working with a psychiatrist, went to a 4 week day program that included daily psychiatry, counselling and group learning/support,........ It was like a variety of things that all came together. Quite a journey. At the end of the day the right medication is what really turned things arounds along with the knowledge of what to do to prevent it coming back.
