Just a quick history, i have suffered deep depression and anxiety on and off for about 30 years. i have been on medications at times and am currently on 3 different anti-depression meds for treatment of physical illnesses that i have, i have alot of problems comprehending this overwhelming depression and anxiety that i have suffered the past 4 months. i have had several more health issues come up in my life and have begun accepting them and learning how to deal with them. So, with that being said i began something yesterday that i have wanted to do and have attempted to do most of my life. i can not tell you how much relief i have found and it just feels right and i feel really good about it. not to offend anyone, but i have alot of people praying for me and my family throughout all of this. btw, i have started writing a book. i am also making decisions that im confident about and eager to start moving up again in my life. when i return to work next month from medical leave, i plan on turning in my notice the very day i go back. i also plan to pursue 2 different career plans after spending about 8 years in retail, before that i was everything from a preschool teacher aide to a school bus driver. i love to work and come from a long line of work aholics, lol. i am feeling almost myself again, but still seeking treatment with a medical professional, waiting on them to call with my initial appointment. i just feel goodness all around and its something i havent felt for a very long time. im not afraid to face today or tomorrow or my future and am feeling ready to take it head on because i know im going to be okay. i dont believe i am completely well and back to myself, but the depression is almost in check again and the anxiety levels i have been having are not near as ominous as they have been. i just want to reach out to someone who can relate to all this and tell you to hang in there, things will get bettter. i have always believed that todays problems are tomorrows solutions and were not in this alone.

That's wonderful DoxieLady! I'm so happy for you!! It feels so good to get back to "almost normal" after years and years of suffering from depression and anxiety. I can relate as I've been depressed since I was a very small child. Now I feel pretty good, and that's quite a change from what it was 5 years ago!!

So thank you for sharing your story! I'm sure it will give others HOPE - which is badly needed here. Very few come back and tell us how good they feel after gettiing the proper medications & treatment. So again, thank you for your inspiring post. I wish you the very best, and God bless! Keep us posted, ok? Hugs, Lee
