Accepting my depression

[mosti001]

Hello all,

My mom used to joke that if I do not stop over thinking and worrying I am going to end up going crazy. Well this last week I spent it in an inpatient psych clinic so not as funny anymore. I've been burying the depression and anxiety I've been feeling for years and it all finally caught up. My career and personal life was finally starting to be what I had dreamed and it all imploded. I have had to resign from work, and am moving back home to be with family. I've prided myself of taking care of my own since college and here I am about to move back to my grandparents and I feel anxious about everything and really scared. I'm afraid that I've ruined everything I've worked for and afraid about going back but know I can't get better here.

You've just been through my worst fear. And sounds like you got through a tough bit . Probably got a road ahead but sounds like you have family who love you so you'll get there x

I'm glad to have found this site and able to get stuff off my sleeve.

Welcome. It sounds like you are doing a good job of taking care of yourself and getting the support you need. I am sorry you have had to resign and move back home to be with family. Just be gentle with yourself. This is what you need right now. Don't judge yourself or be hard on yourself. I am glad you are here reaching out for support. You are not alone.
