Anxiety and Depression: I just want to feel normal again.

Thank you thank you my dear friend!!!! I have been suffering from depression and anxiety since I was about 12 years old and now I’m 60 years old. My family is so very upsetting. I feel like I’m being hit on the head with a sledgehammer and that I’m in prison!!!! I have ideas for making changes but terror holds me back!!!! There are certain family members that frighten me, I’m too confused right now. I need to make a list to try and keep me organized and help me figure out how to fix my life!!!!

The quickest thing that may help, if you are able, is to simply take a walk. You never know what you may see on your walk. While I walk, I pray 🙂
Hugs to you.
Another thing I did was to take a class at the local community college. Sounded really silly to me, but my therapist suggested it. Being around young people and having a purpose literally changed my life. (I was a goof ball and actually told the instructor that!). It’s true. Just another suggestion.

Same thing here-two generation of depressives- never married again( brief marriage). I had to be proactive . Meaning I had to disassociate myself from my family to be okay . A lot of you have toxic family that keeps you in an extremely bad place . If married then suggest marriage counseling. If not- go elsewhere Make sure to have a therapist to help you if need be- I did not get help until my 60’s. I thought being active and being out there is enough. It was not. It’s not our fault. We have to remember that. But we have to make sure our lives are the way we need it to be as much as we can.i am better for it. I would not still exists if I had not done this. Take care
