Thank you everyone. I cannot express how deep my appreciation is that I have you guys! I can count on you to be honest and forthright, to say what you think, and to give authentic feedback.

It is also meaningful that everyone here knows how much harder it is to do things when one is fighting for better mental health.


I have never been diagnosed with anything except "adjustment disorder" which I think is something therapists put on insurance forms when there isn't a solid diagnosis. I have always had anxiety. I have always felt that what is easy for others has always been hard for me. I am certain others here understand what I am talking about.

The hardest thing for me is to do things alone. I grew up in a large family and believe me, I don't think I was ever alone for a minute until...maybe age 25 when I rented an apartment on my own.


It is imperative I keep my mental state steady.
