I am having a really tough time right now with my anxiety and severe depression. It's like being on a bad roller coaster I can't get off of. I'm getting whiplash and I'm tired of fighting this unending battle. I feel hopeless and defeated right now. Any encouragement would be appreciated.

Sorry you are struggling so bad. I don't really know what to say (sorry) but I care and hope you are feeling better soon. You have been so supportive of me and I'm very grateful for that. Thinking of you

I hope you're able to stick it through. There's light at the end even though you can't see it right now. But it will get better again all of a sudden. That is what I have experienced.

I can totally empathize with how you're feeling, today has been a rough day for me and the question comes into the mind "Why keep going?" I just try to have hope that the day will get better, or that the next day will be better. Keep fighting Jennifer, you are an awesome support here and I hope you're feeling better soon.

You're one of the most supportive members here. As you can see, many of us have noticed. I'm sorry you're going through such a defeated state, sometimes the roller coaster can go back up if you give it the time.

I know this isn't much, but I appreciate you and I'll be here if you need to unload.

I do absolutely encourage you to HANG ON!!!

There is a light at the end of the tunnel (there's lots of tiny lights actually...all of us here are holding a candle for you)

Can you combat the anxiety for a bit? (don't know if you take the meds route or if what, but someone gave me the tip to try antihistamine (Benadryl) if you have nothing else. It does something to calm down the adrenaline rush that happens...I think.

I am tired as well Jennifer. I wish there were magic words that instill happiness. Unfortunately we all know the reality of that. One thing I do is focus on getting through waking up yo bedtime each day. It may sound redundant, but doing this each day brings me some focus. Do your best, it's all you expect from yourself. Keep fighting, you aren't alone.

You've been really supportive towards me lately, and I suppose with everyone else. You're stronger than you think. But it will get better. I hadn't eaten in four days until today, but I actually ate a sandwich today and some chips. Things do get better. Especially when we feel our lowest, we might stay there awhile but there's always an up day on the horizon.

I'm not so good with comforting words today...or maybe any day.
But I understand the pain. Maybe not you pain exactly, but I know how it is to hurt like that.
I also know it gets better. Even though I feel similar now and it seems so impossible to imagine.

You have spoken nothing but kind words to me on here. I notice you, and I honestly think it's worth you keeping on fighting.

Ahhh Hun... to be honest, I was feeling the same way today until I read your post. It's sad you're going through this, but it's also such a comfort to know others experience the same feelings. That can make life so much more bearable.
I won't get into it here, but my life for the last year has been insanely stressful and it's brought on anxiety and depression. At first I thought I had to fight these alone. But I don't. And you don't either. You don't have to fight this on your own or alone.
We are all here to support you and fight right along side of you!!! Please don't let your demons win. We will fight them together I'm tired of fighting PM me any time. I'm always here to help and to care.

Jennier, you're always here for everyone. You always write things that really help me and others. This, too, shall pass. You are not alone in your pain.

You definitely aren't alone. I've not been posting here for very long but I see what a kind, supportive and caring person you are to everyone here. I hope you can get through this bad time and come out feeling stronger.
