Lonely Road

I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for most of my life. I recently have come out of a battle with Congestive Heart Failure. I was so happy to be able to live, but instead of gaining a new life, I fell into a very lonely hole of depression and anxiety. I’m too heavy a weight for my family so I walk this path alone, but it’s too much to bare

Hi Rril! You’re not alone and the universe is glad you are here. Sending you peace... and there are people out here thinking about you.

What would you think about speaking to a therapist or a confidant about how you feel and what has made you so angry about this turn?

Like I mentioned, I have struggled with depression and anxiety most of my life, so I’ve tried everything. Therapist, psychologists, counsellors, several different steps to freedom programs, exercise plans, diet plans, accountably groups, medications,...last October, my aunt who was only 11 years older than me, took her life. It’s got me thinking...is this how it all ends?... will I ever be able to beat this? I probably struggled the least with depression when I was in the midst of heart failure because there was atleast some reason to have “bad days”...but now?... it has become my identity and I can’t escape😢

This indeed sounds pretty tragic as the circumstances surrounding your entire life appears to have lead you to a form of stalemate/which way to turn ,as nothing seems to have worked.,and you have reached crisis point.You most certainly need some thing to aim for .having a different diet combined with light /moderate exercise ,just plan little steps for you to overcome and not get too down and disheartened-I truly feel your pain and im sure your aunt would not like to see you go the same road --please seek medical advice and don't let your self fall into a pitiful hole,where theres nothing left.-there is an escape try to remain optimistic,its a battle you can win if you keep trying!!!
