I feel very much that I will never be, as far as my mental health goes, "all" better. I believe that I will always be somewhat depressed and anxious. So can accepting that somehow make my life happier? I would like to be free of depression & anxiety, but since I am 56, have always felt this way and have had a lot of therapy, I just don't think it's going to happen. I feel like I have something fundamentally "wrong" or "bad" about me and this is why no amount of drugs or therapy can get rid of my mental illness. But if I can just accept it and stop fighting it, maybe my life will be less painful.
