I am experiencing a lot of anxiety and depression. I desperately need to talk with others who are struggling.

I struggle with it also. I have bipolar 1. I don’t have insurance to get much medical help. If you do there are medications and therapy that can help. Some tips when those moods approach, look at some happy times family photos or listen to some popular upbeat music of your best years. Push yourself to get outside and smell the fresh air. Take a deep breath and make it a great day!

@jjwest I also have anxiety and depression. I was diagnosed as having Bi-polar II about 18 years ago.
Bi-polar II is characterized by more depression symptoms than manic.
My anxiety is a result of years of emotional stress…I have been able to control the anxiety sometimes if I can catch it before it becomes way out of control!
