Newbie here

I've struggled with anxiety and depression all my life. I had a really bad therapist who put me on way too many pills, and I had a long hard road to get off all the junk.

I swore that I could manage my condition without meds. So I am currently not medicated, but some days it is hard to wish for a tomorrow.

My logical brain knows things are ok, but I feel like I am so overwhelmed I just can't face it...like today...I didn't go to work.

I found a new therapist and I'm hoping that the right meds will help me feel close to human again. I push myself to do the things I need to do but I feel like I am living in a time loop. Where everyday is just the same as yesterday so why bother?
