I am really unhappy. The only thing that makes me happy is my relationship with my fiance. I am having some of the most intense anxiety I have ever had. Also very deep depression. I really need help, and I do not know what to do. I'm having anxiety now :/

Sorry to hear that Maggi. This will pass, you know it will because it always has before. One way to change your mood is to play uplifting music, burn essential oil or incense, read inspirational books or watch a comedy on tv. You are so lucky to have a fianc and you care about each other, its more than many of us have.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is action in the face of fear.

Way to go, my courageous friend!!! Bet you can do it again!!!

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
