Change your thoughts and your feelings change. Thats what I have learned in CBT. It takes practice I know. Its not always easy. Alot of what we think isn't true. Sometimes what others are thinking about us aren't true either. I can't control what others think about me. However in my closer relationships I can ask for clarity. That takes courage in some situations. When I was young and lived at home I sometimes was falsely accused by my mother of doing things I wasn't doing. I would try and have a rational conversation with her but she often got angry and just wouldn't believe me. (Even though she had no evidence of the supposed wrongdoing)😖 In time (alot of time) I had to forgive her and let go of the injustices suffered. I don't know if any of this helps but I would look into CBT for help. 😍Hang in there. We care!💞

Tara, You might have my therapist! CBT is an amazing tool. So easy to learn yet hard to master. If you can make it work for you one day you can make it work another day. We all got to keep helping each other push through another day.

❤️we are all here for you please know that and anyone of us would love to help in anyway we can ! Hang in there you got this !❤️

We are here for you. We know what you are going thru as we go there too. There is no cure for depression or anxiety. We appreciate the good time and learn to hang on and cope with the hard times. We didn’t cause the disease, can’t control control or cure it. Are you seeing a psychologist and a psychiatrist for meds? Do you have a support team locally? We are here on the internet but you need 2 people who support you besides your doctor. You will learn new tools to coup and it will get better. Trials make us stronger people by hanging on. I am praying for you!

[Staticgoat]

I obviously don’t know you but to what you said, I can say with 100% confidence that the people who care about you feel the same in not wanting to lose you/don’t want you to leave.

[Daveacr1959]

I might sound like a broken record on here . But a dozen people have emailed me back and said they tried it and it helps. Try to find the right medicine with the dr. Mine is a beta blocker and klonopin for anxiety. I don’t have depression although I had to try 6 different antidepressants 15 times in different doses one at a time. Things that help me. I start every morning with the Wim Hof guided breathing exercises free on you tube. Then I get 30-40 minutes of cardio exercise daily to burn off steam and feel better. Then I have worked my way down to daily cold water therapy. Plenty of information on you tube about the help for mental health benefits too. It’s natures antidepressant and anxiety medicine in one. A cold shower or bath or dip in the lake or ? Does wonders. I was so calm and relaxed from mine yesterday I nodded off several times in a deep nap. We have tools we can use. Spend time around loved ones too.

This has been a wonderful community. To be able to reveal those thoughts and feelings that you never expose and then to have someone echo that they are going through the same is invaluable. Go ahead and pour your heart out, you'll find support here.

[Hidden]

Dear Survivor, as mentioned by another CBT can really help. If you can't find a therapist look for a book or just search the Internet for cognitive behavioral therapy. There are some many tools , you are bound to find something that can make you feel better, even if it's only temporary. We all care about you!
