hello,

This forum has been my safe haven for three years. I have been experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression for three years on and off. On good days, I'm cheerful, motivated, energetic and happy. My interests include art, cooking, exercising and spending time with people I love. As a feminist I have also been spending time preparing for the Women's March. Lately, since January, I have been experiencing episodes of anxiety and depression, where I have lost all motivation to do anything. I can't get out of bed, I've lost my appetite (on good days I also eat a lot, and enjoy my food thoroughly), my sex drive is practically nonexistent and I've lost interest in activities I used to love. I have had so many anxiety attacks since 2 months and it takes a toll on me and the people who love me. I can't seem to find good therapy anywhere. I've also gotten into self harming - it's an addiction like I deserve pain and it makes me who I am.

If anyone has been in a similar position can you help me out?

I applaud your activism. Wish I could get so dedicated to anything but my cat. lol I've got no advice -- only a shoulder to cry on. But sometimes that's all we really needed. Stay in touch. Stay strong. Hey, we are on the verge of getting a t shirt that says "I survived the plague." Can' t wait to get mine. 👍 😀
