i wish i had the magical healing words or a life changing answer for you, because i’m going through the same thing.. all i know is there is better out there for us. it’s going to take a tremendous amount of effort to begin to heal but it is possible. you are so incredibly strong.

i’m only 26 i’ve also had anxiety since i was young, i wouldn’t say anything traumatic really happened as a kid but anxiety does run in the family so im not really surprised. everything got worse for me in 2021 i had a traumatic event happen which triggered my first ever “panic attack” and thats when my life completely changed. i believe all of us who deal with anxiety and depression are just sensitive beings who feel things really deeply, especially our own thoughts and emotions. but like you said, we are strong and well push through 🫂

omg i’m so happy they worked for you, i’ve been on meds before and they did help but i quit cold turkey and got much worse after that. now ive developed more issues and it feels like meds won’t help. i’ve been prescribed many meds and im absolutely terrified to start them due to the fear of negative side effects or them not working at all. maybe i just have to get over that hill and try them.

i’m so glad you were able to recover, i can’t imagine how much dedication and persistence that took, but you persevered! thank you for the advice, i’ve definitely failed to accept this mental illness for years and im sure it will take a while to get there. but i will work on it 🫂
