Today I find myself in the throes of depression, trying to find a counselor or therapist and looking for answers and help for problems I thought I was over.
I have been suffering from anxiety and depression even tough things seem to be going my way. I’m sober, but it kinda sucks.
No not really; it is rewarding but on days like this I wish I was...something. Not necessarily high but just thinking differently. When I used to get this way I would just dull the senses with whatever I could find. Sex, drugs, alcohol, overspending. Anyway I’m down but I have made the decision to talk about it and not, “white knuckle” it like I have been.
I don’t know where to start, I don’t want to share just yet but it’s nice to know you all are out there.
Take care

Seems to me like you have already begun taking action with ". . .the decision to talk about it and not, “white knuckle” it like I have been." May I offer you a sincere pat on the back and encourage you to trust yourself to know what the next action should be?
Welcome aboard.
I have been told spam journaling is me "acting out" "vomiting" and how can I justify this
But screw those arseholes!!!
Ten years free of eating disorders and drinking, withstood ten years of abuse from the world, attack from spiritual world, insanity and awful medications
Still I've recovered and am ok today!
Go find yourself nice people who will be nice to your journals it's more fun
I read recently that most anxiety starts in the gut. I think there is something to this because when I'm anxious I don't eat right. So I started doing this: When I start getting anxious I eat small meals throughout the day with protein and complex carbohydrates. I avoid caffeine, sugar, white flour and processed food. I take a probiotic, Vitamin D and Magnesium, and drink lots of water and calming herbal teas.
Also, what you think about has a huge affect on your moods and emotions. I read the book Rethink How You Think by D. Stoop. It really has helped me control my thinking and emotions.
Saying a prayer for you.
