And to you for making yourself go and doing whatever it took to show up for yourself to get better. Not many people make it that way sadly

Amazing work!!

I know this is difficult to answer but after 18 years with depression and anxiety what did you find some of the most helpful aspects of the professional help you got?

I started with therapy and after a few sessions she realised that I needed meds. So referred to me a psychiatrist who started me on a course and that got me instant relief. I mean it changed my life

That's been the approach for 14 years now. Usually trying someone new isn't even my choice, I just get dumped.

I totally understand your PoV. This was my third attempt at seeing a professional. And I have been trying to get proper help since 2015. Finally it happened for me in 2022 but don’t give up and go for meds. They are lifesaver. I wish you all the best and if you want to talk then drop me a PM.

Awesome. If you don't mind me asking what kind of "help" did you get?

Takes a lot to recognize your problems and a hella lot more to take that first step towards resolving them. You sir are my 1st Chad of 2023!

After that I found it easier to go through my daily routines, going to work and doing stuff that seemed impossible to me a while ago, the brain then took care of it itself and I am slowly decreasing my meds i take too.

What are some things they taught you that might help others if you don’t mind?
