Screw Depression & Anxiety (Level 0 - 10 Giveaways!)

Oh, I can have all the BLs =P

Thank you for keeping your OP "family friendly." )

Mhm. It's a bit scary how much difference a day can make.
One day you're feeling good, and the next can be a complete 180.
Or vice versa..
Sometimes, I honestly want to give up too.
If you need to vent etc, poke me.

Have another bump of love 💗

Well, I tried many things but of course I'm still "young", I'm from the late '80s so I think I've got lots of things to try too.. although I managed to improve everything, Northern Italy and Switzerland have both awesome health care system although I never tried the American one (well, I've been only to Asia and Africa but never to the American continent even as a tourist..).. I tried everything I could afford here for what concerns physical illnesses and it turned out quite well, of course CPPS is a syndrome which still has not a cure so for what concerns it I've got to hope that scientists find something new... but now I can live almost a normal life, even for what concerns my arm problems (three surgical operations in my right arm) and so on..
On the other side as you correctly said, depression and mental illnesses of course are way tougher in some way and very difficult, often, to defeat.. or even to control! There are no "universal" drugs for everyone, I tried DOZENS of medicines both in Switzerland and in Northern Italy, and it took me years and years to progress, defeat many mental illnesses (agoraphobia, social anxiety, panic attacks and so on) and control other ones, never letting them bring me down anymore (mainly major depression and borderline personality disorder).. though I stopped taking drugs at the age of 27-28 'cos I was really fed up, I couldn't go on anymore, I mean, started at the age of 14 seeing every kind of doctor, sometimes I had to talk to them in English or French, without interruption until the age of 27.. now I'm trying to walk by myself with my new strength and do my best, always asking for help, and living every day with positivity and no worries, doing everything positive I can! Thanks a lot 'cos as I said of course I think that I'll never get over these things completely, so it's fundamental to know I'm not alone and that you must keep on with hope and never being afraid of asking for help instead of isolating yourself.
Thank you a lot <3 I'll keep on fighting and I hope everything positive to the OP too <3

already noticed that: you have a "different" approach as per depression, more "physical". that's really interesting, cause most of us talks about the brain, positive thoughts, and so on.

it's a long time that have this kind of thought: it may be simpler than we think, fight depression. like we have chosen the wrong/longer/more complicated way to win that battle.

also, sunlight, simple sunlight i think could help a lot.

thanks for sharing, Khalaq

That's definitely what I experienced in my school years - I basically lost all of my friends and I didn't know where to search for help since teachers and my parents too didn't understand, they thought "it was all in my head" while I was starting to suffer just as a teenager from "invisible illnesses" like agoraphobia, depression, borderline personality disorder, anxiety and panic attacks, which are NOT confined to the mental sphere but rather they've got a HUGE impact on the physical one too.. in fact I lost school years and I didn't manage to make friends, my social phobia grew so much that I was marginalized and unable to have social skills. And as you were saying, before finding good doctors that fit me I underwent many of them who kept on changing meds, and most of the times I didn't even need so many drugs or simply they did not work (or they kept me in bed for weeks). Fortunately many of these things have been defeated through years and years of practice, will, correct doses and types of medicines, the right doctors in the right times and so on! Thanks a lot mate, I really hope everything will get better to everyone here who has been suffering of even a single one of these harsh illnesses.. we must never be silent and raise awareness, always =)

i was in that phase too, sorry to hear for you... i druged myself alot to avoid me going rampage etc... and i just could lay in bed and watch on TVscreen without even able to focus on it, just mental cinema...

I feel a bit better know because i soved a few problems, some cant be solved like saving the world... :'D

I have been to 7 mental hospitals and through years of therapy. It may help some people but not all.
