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?

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

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

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.

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!

Love to hear what you ended up taking medication wise (knowing it’s specific to your conditions)

Do you feel comfortable sharing more about what helped?

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

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.
