Mental Health Support

Being able to admit it is the safest place to be.
I have a hard time sometimes with just saying to myself-
"It's okay when you are not okay" and "tomorrow is another day"
So much guilt and stigma...sigh.
I told my doctor, the first person ever, that I had finally realized
I wasn't like other people- that my fear of driving on the freeway and
going to the grocery store and just LIVING in general has a name!
Anxiety disorder that resulted in depression and vice versa...
A vicious cycle.

He laughed and said, "Well great! You diagnosed yourself and got help!"

It's a never ending journey- but an interesting one and I am
glad that I can be at peace with it most of the time.

I just can't believe after years of seeking help no one could tell me what was wrong!

I hate having to take medication every day, but I want my life back, without
the mystifying and ever present awareness that something was wrong with me.
