Do you think you will ever be free of your current anxiety/depression?

[BrokenMachine]

It depends on the person, in my case I have been able to get better, the anxiety has been less over the years, with a few breakdowns, but a steady recovering overall.

 

As for depression, in the long run, it's like a rollercoaster where some years I'm fine but then suddenly I'm down for like a year or two, but every time I get down I keep the stuff I learnt from the last times so I kinda know how to manage it 'better'.

 

But this is just my case, for other people these problems become pathological and doesn't matter how much the person tries, it just won't go away, no matter the amount of therapy sessions, and that's when doctors and psychiatrists need to step in before the damage becomes too bad.

Last few months have been super amazing and I've felt the best I've ever been but now a new wave of bullshit from various IRL sources is upon me and I feel somewhat down.

 

It's in my blood 

I can try to keep it down but it's always there, waiting for opportunity to strike. An eternal scar 

[Alldeezy]

probably not, my anxiety gets worse everyday to the point leaving the house gives me panic attacks and I faint from them, so concerts are really hard to enjoy now since i dont have friends to take, and that part hits my depression.

[Jotham]

Yes. It can be overwhelming at times but I know that I've always managed to overcome it.

[Breathe On Moi]

yes, and that is the mind-set anyone with anxiety/depression should always keep, the moment you are experiencing, the time you are in, is not forever. you will overcome it and learn from it, always.

[Joyride]

It really does depend on your resources. sometimes will power is sadly not enough.

 

I've gone through very traumatic episodes of violence and bullying from such a young age (since I was 7) and have not been able to recover from it. it's been quite a few years and even though I do fight it all the time, it's difficult. living with diagnoses such as clinical depression, MPD, being in the autistic spectrum and having PTSD has made my life miserable.

 

I would like to think medicine will reach a new point when it comes to treatment for such disorders, but I do live in a limbo and I don't like that. I'm not very hopeful, but I'd hate to give up if you know what I mean.

 

[Theshigo Washidu]

My anxiety isn't as bad as it used to be.

I feel like a change in scenery would do me good though. Not that I'm running away from it, but as in that I can start somewhere anew where no-one knows me and navigate life accordingly.

[Kern]

I quit my job today that was giving me depression. I have a new one and we’ll see - maybe it’s time for anxiety to step in after long break 

[AM98GJ]

I used to suffer with it quite badly and then honestly I took shrooms with my best friend and it changed everything 

 

even that one time just changed how i look at everything, even now 2 years later I get waved of anxiety/depression and just tell myself to ride it out while it's here. bc i know i always feel better in the end 

[harwee]

switching off social media (starting with twitter) helps.

[Smarticle]

kii, no. i just repress it

[Queen.]

It comes and goes but not bad like I use to have it. My head is much clearer now.

 

I'm not religious but when I recognized that it was a demonic spirit, I got it cast out of me.

[TheBronxGirl]

I do a lot of therapy, meditation and reading self help books. I have gotten better but I went back into the dark place as of recent. I have had traumatic things happen to me so I will always struggle in some way. I just keep praying that I will be 100 % percent happy again one day, but I am also realistic in that may not ever happen.

Wow. How did you do that?

[beautiful player]

Depression, yes. Anxiety, no. I don't think it's realistic or fruitful to try becoming free from anxiety. You can have anxiety without suffering from it. Trying to make it go away only aggravates the suffering and feeds into a loop.

DM me if you are serious. 

[youcallingmyname]

Ugh so I’m in therapy and my medications been adjusted and it’s been like 2 years of medications and 3 or more months therapy and I still feel hopeless, lost, anxious, afraid and like I’m not going to get out of it. I am still so damn tired every day and idk why. 

[gagacasanova]

Probably not, it's my personality. I Am... The Chaos.

[SUPER CANNES]

No, even my doctor told me I’d have anxiety forever. 

[Wooper]

I don't think it gets better but you find ways to cope with it in more healthy ways as we get older and we surround ourselves with people that can help. Depression and anxiety are hard combo.

 

Never forget that you're loved. But you should love yourself the most.

[JonginBey]

No.

 

[popmusicisdead]

no. I don't think you can get rid of it. it's always gonna be nipping at your heels. the key is to learn how to deal with it. 

[LatinFreak]

yes. once i get massively RICH! 

[IWantASoda35]

I believe no one will ever break the chain of depression/anxiety. All we can do is just learn how to cope with it, and I say this as someone that works in a clinical setting 

[Alex]

once I can figure out how to get rid of my anxiety, i'm sure depression will follow shortly after
