I have been going to the T for a year. I still have had severe depression and anxiety, esp anxiety for 18 mons now since I made a very bad choice. My T told me that the depression was stemming from anger. That i was repressing anger. We talked about possible anger that i might be repressing. The only anger I have is at myself for making such a bad decision 18 mons ago. She said something that made a difference. She said " forgive yourself".

So I went home and lie in the tub and talked to myself about forgiveness. I told myself that its ok, that im not mad at myself anymore. I tried hard to believe it. I went in my studio and did some art just some angry lines and scrawls on paper. I didnt cry. Somehow I feel better by forgiving myself. Is this possible? Such an easy fix? I have been severely anxiety ridden for mons and now I have been 4 days without anxiety. I hope this feeling lasts and I hope that someone else can have resolution by forgiveness.
