I recently went through a break up and losing my job back to back. I had to end my relationship because my mental health got so bad while i was in it. I've suffered from depression my whole life and just started suffering from anxiety last year. I was at rock bottom in December and January with no job and being alone and trying to get over an extremely hard break up, but things have been slowly getting better over the past couple months.I'm starting a new job tomorrow and am really nervous about whether or not I can handle it. I want to be a productive member of society but it's so hard when you have contend with depression and anxiety too. I feel helpless like I never know when they'll "flare up" and ruin my life again. I guess I just needed to share my situation- I've been feeling like I'm the only one going through this so it's nice to find people who understand what a struggle just living day to day can be.
