First steps

I went to my GP today. I was immediately prescribed antidepressants, beta blockers for anxiety, and had a therapy appointment scheduled. While I feel apprehensive about beginning this journey, I finally feel as though my depression may stop telling me that I am a failure and my life is worthless. Thanks, anyone who might read this, or maybe just the void, for hearing that I might be on the way to feeling I deserve a life.

Hi

You do deserve a life as all do. I know it's hard trying to deal with depression and anxiety

But the good thing is you have started to get help. It's good you can connect with your doctor if makes it easier to open up. I hope you get the help you need and remember

There is always someone on this site who is going through the same experience so they

know what you mean and we are good listener's. I hope the medication works for you as

It's hard enough trying to deal with the daily things when you are feeling down.

Hope you feel better soon.
