[CrystalCarmel]

Hello I am Crystal a 27 year old Women a Mother of two Fantastic children. I suffer from Anxiety and Depression. I haven't been out of my house in two years aside from shopping twice a month. I have had a very ruff ruff life I lost my sister Destiny to a drunk driver four years ago and just a little over five months ago Cervical Cancer took my Mother as well. So I'm not in a good place right now in terms of my anxiety and depression. My anxiety is really getting the better of Me! It has caused me to be a hypochondriac so much so I now have Insomnia again. I came here looking for support from other's because Anxiety is hard for some to understand they think I can just make it go away haha I truly more than anything wish I could. Thank you for listening.

Hi Crystal, welcome to our support community. I can relate to everything you just said. I'm sorry you are going through a tough time. I also have had a very tough life and I think alot of my depression and anxiety started because of things I went through in childhood but have carried on to adulthood. I struggle everyday but I am greatfl to God to see and to have another day with my loved ones. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, it's true and I have to tell myself that often. We are alot stronger than we think, we go through these obstacles and suffer...yes, but these things make us who we are. Keep fighting and pushing through esp for our children who depend on us. They help me to push through the hard days. Well I hope and pray you feel better, I'm here if you need to talk. Take care and God bless.....Victoria
