I'm 27 and I have suffered from depression/anxiety since my early teens.
I didn't seek help until I suffered an emotional break down around age 22.
Sometimes I feel as though there is no end in sight. I have breaks in time where the depression and the anxiety subside, but it always creeps it's way back in. I had a very disruptive home life as a child, as an adult I find it diffictult to move forward and forget the past.
I have been seeing a therapist, however I still get depressed alot. I feel as though it helps somewhat but not enough. I would like to know what it feels like to live a life without depression.
I don't want to take any meds because I am afraid of the side effects... I am wondering if anti-depressants are helpful?
Thie depression and anxiety has affected numerous areas of my life including my relationships, work, etc..
I am constantly in fear of having a nervous breakdown.
This is the first time I have joined a group, I am wondering if it's helpful?
Thanks
Faith
