It's over 30 yrs of sever anxiety and depression

[CountryMeatPie]

It's over 30 years now that I have been living with anxiety and depression, yes from a very young of 5/6 yrs old. Life has been terrible that I have attempted suicide or most cases thought about ending it all, it's been hard. I am hopeful that I will win this battle for the sake of my kids. Somedays are hard and some days I feel better, I just don't know what each day will feel like when I wake up in the morning but I go on. I am looking to speak with a psychiatrist to finally start a therapy.

I take care of kids myself, it's really not easy being a parent and to top it with the fact that you are fighting an internal battle, I respect the fact that you're putting them first, wanting to get better for them and trying to find help...I genuinely respect you for that, It's not easy being a parent.One day at a time

Therapy is a must IMO. Noting that you have good days is great. Focus on those when you’re having a rough patch so you know you can get by. I come to this site on and off to know I’m not alone when anxiety is getting the better of me. I’ve just restarted with a new therapist myself. PEACE
