Hi Maria

I read your post thinking thats so like me, I have anxiety, with depression coming with that, One of the ways I cope is by looking after myself and having me only time, which Ive only just managed to realise how important that is. Have you spoken to your doctor? So many people suffer in silence because they just dont know how to deal with it x I could so write a book on this subject.

The worst thing you can do is move away from interacting with Society in general. It is important your life follows a positive pathway, that will help you enter into a meaningful relationship with your Peers

You could try and address those problems that happened in your youth, to do that can bring an amount of closure to your worries fears and past attitudes. You need closure and that helps to move on through your adult life. Stop looking at all things negative and try and give your life a positive meaning to it

Sometimes understanding the problem can make you ripe for change, I managed to make big changes in my life and that helped me begin and enter a more happy, calm life. It may be hard and unsettling in the beginning, it is the final key to a new beginning that makes the difference

Whatever you decide make it right with you, you are not doing it for others it is for yourself, eventually people around you will see the diffeence and applaud the change

Nothing is ever easy and I know from experience how difficult old baggage is to get rid of.

Be kind and understanding to yourself, eventually you will see the end of the tunnel
