What options for anxiety & depression have worked for you?

One of my biggest challenges has been holding onto things that have happened to me over the years. I struggle with forgiveness and moving forward. I know as I work through these things I will get better. Just helps me knowing that there are others that have overcome things like me and groups like this.

I agree. It’s a process of learning resilience. Letting go of past hurts, including our own “cringe” behaviors is challenging. Developing a growth mindset has helped me tremendously to choose to not let my ego/emotions control me. I’ve wasted far too much time in my life looking back at things I can’t change. I want to choose forgiveness toward others and myself. I’m becoming more free in this learning process.
We have to CHOOSE to change ourselves every day…
some days with a “warrior” cry, other days limping along as we learn lessons from life.
Some days it’s rough, but the good days make the hard days bearable.
I’m still learning resilience every single day🤓

@mlh13here Yes, I have experienced that "am I the only one who feels this way" syndrome, also, over the years. Being able to share is important, and relating how we have dealt with it to come to a more even place. Like you, I struggle with the forgiveness factor. I have done a lot of journaling, take a low-dose antidepressant, and therapy. We each have our own unique story, definitely!
@mlh13here @kuma I am curious what you would tell your younger self now, about the anxiety and depression you have gone through, and how it has shaped your life?
