Hi all.
I’ve been in and out of depression for 23yrs. On and off meds in and out of Drs. The last 10yrs I have had a handle on the depression being able to pull myself out without meds. I’ve had anxiety for 4yrs now and that’s what’s getting to me the most and making my depression worse.
today was the day, I went to see my gp and had a full mental breakdown, I’ve never broken like that before, I’ve been prescribed meds again.
I dont know if I’m here for advice, to talk, or just put my thoughts out into the void where I won’t be judged or told to “get over it”.
im in the darkest place I have ever been, and with the heartache and trauma of my life since I was young that (to me) says so much and scares the living hell out of me.
so here I am. Thanks for accepting me into the community. if I’m not talkative in threads, please forgive me. I’m falling apart like a piece of wet cake.
