I’m not labeled depressed at the moment. I still have anxiety, but my depression has apparently disappeared. I’d like to stay and give tips instead of being kicked out.

Star.

Oh my goodness that’s amazing! I would love to hear some much needed tips from you!

Thank you all! There’s a few things I recommend doing!!! If you think your doctor is nuts get a new one. Please, I beg you to not eliminate them from your healing journey. Is something stressing you? Maybe stormy weather? Turn away from your window, make a hot drink, take deep breaths! The storm I’m experiencing is the least of my worries!!! What’s one of your hobbies? Is there something you like to do? I’m the type of person who likes to isolate myself and sleep my days away so...I have to work on finding things to do! Colour a picture, place a phone call, send an email, text a friend, send me a PM if you’d like to even! We can make you smile! If your dating or married to someone reach out, give them a hug! You might be surprised by how many people are there to help you!!!

"my depression has apparently disappeared."

Praise God. You are WAY ahead of millions of people. Live and enjoy.

I could always wake up in tears tomorrow, but the thing is I don’t want to let something so out of my control control me. So I blame it on my severe anxiety! So now I’m fighting to control that too!!!

Very treatable (anxiety), medically speaking.

That’s what my therapist said about anxiety so it’s a work in progress. Meanwhile Star says all this in the middle of a severe anxiety attack!
