Since my last major anxiety attack I have learned that I live in full anxiety most of my days, then in depression in the other part.
One more time meds have literally opened my eyes and saved my life. I know it is short lived and this too shall pass like a bowling ball out my uretha, but it will pass nonetheless.
You can blame yourself but we both know that is like blaming your double helix, or your DNA.
