Depression & anxiety. They won't leave me alone. I don't want them. I do everything I can to keep them away, but they keep coming back. I can't get rid of them. They are controlling my life. Will I ever be "normal" again? This time I just can't get better.

Hugs, I know exactly how you feel! I wonder if I will ever be happy again.

It's good you have those supports, but even the best support can only go so far in the face of a deep grief that has yet to run its course.

Perhaps it is not possible to answer this question at present; the fog is too thick. Please keep posting, Jean17. You don't have to be alone at this time.
