Welcome and yes but you are able to make your new life. Take for example, I used to live a very toxic family. Mental, physical, and sexual so one day my friend said to me. Take the toxic people out of your life. I suggest this in moderation. But if they are not looking out for your well being then there and discourage you then time to say take a hike it is my life. An I want to live it peacefully

I feel like theres so much to do, like everything was wrong in my life, like you said things that I took for granted, people around me , toxic behavior, in my relationships ECT.

Hi, We have all being there. Yes it is exhausting. Are you talking with a therapist or doctor? Do you have some friends you can talk with? Hobbies and “me time”is very important. Know that it will get much better but takes a lot of time. One day at a time. Keep in touch. God bless you.

Unfortunately at the moment I'm not seeing any doctors and with some people is hard specially when it feels like they have everything figured it out ...I don't know I guess sometimes is just fear of being judged

Yeah, marco I became aware of my own anxiety problems around 2012 as well. I agree with micginnmx that we need to learn to make our own lives new incrementally. If I could go back in time, I would spend it educating myself on mental health and learning to see the signs so I would have more experience coping.Prayers bro.

That's a great advice, I'm staring to read several articles about it , sometimes is hard to relate , cuz feels like a type of pain that is so personal, but seeing that some many people are struggling it makes me feel like I'm not the only one.

Depression and anxiety is an illness we didn’t cause, didn’t control, and can’t cure. We need to accept it. It is important to have a good psychiatrist for medications, good psychologist to talk to, a support group like this one, practice selfcare and get some exercise when you can. On down days give yourself a break and do what you can and rest more. It takes time to rebuild the seratonin level.
