I Will Be Myself And Not What Others Want Me To Be

I’ve recently been diagnosed with both of these things and as horrible as it is to have an anxiety disorder, as much as i wouldn’t wish these feelings upon anybody, i’m not afraid to admit that i suffer from mental illness. It’s ok not to be ok and it doesn’t make us any less strong.

I've dealt with anxiety and general depression for 20 years. Currently on meds which have helped a lot. In the last decade I've gotten to know a lot of people who deal with it to varying degrees. I really wish you luck. It can be managed.

@SW-User I still have a lot of the free help pages printed out. It helped knowing that what I was going through was not all that rare.
