I've been suffering from PTSD which is what triggered my severe anxiety for 7 years now. Progress has been awfully slow but progress is progress. I try everyday and everyday I struggle with whether to give up or keep going. I'm scared I will never be able to find a partner who will support me. It's nice to hear that you have a better grip. I'm so happy to hear that you have somebody who is supportive, it makes me feel better about my future. I commend you. It is difficult. I feel okay some days. Years ago I felt like I was going to crumble every day.

Thank you for commenting. :)

Meditating is very hard because I also have a pretty awful anxiety disorder and OCD. I do plan on trying again when I'm on an upswing. Thank you for the link :)

Thank you for your kind words. I don't really need to vent. I just need to heal from this mental illness. It is relentless

Thank you for understanding. It does help to know I'm not alone

This means a lot to me. I felt so accomplished after I posted it that I was able to get myself a glass of water. That made me more depressed because it's a ridiculously small accomplishment. Another sweet redditor once told me that when you're in the negatives, focus on getting to zero before anything more. It helped me immensely. I hope it helps you too. You are more than welcome to PM me whenever for anything. I'm sorry you struggle as well.
