Hello,
I dont know where to start with this but i just want like minded people to talk to about anxiety/depression etc. The last 5 or so years i have been struggling with severe anxiety problems which eventually led me to be diagnosed with depression. I am a stubborn person and to actually accept this was happening was very difficult for me and its only since this year i have started taking medication to help with my issues.
The medication aspect i will leave for another post in a sub forum but i feel i have reached a wall in my recovery and its because i have very few people to talk to who have been through similar experiences. So i hope to be able to share stories and personal experiences with you all whether its good or bad and hopefully together we can make each day a better one for each other.
Im looking for any sort of advice that people have that they think could help me. Just to give you some background info on who i was and what i used to do before i fell into this illness, i was a semi professional basketball player and i was in the best mental and physical shape of my life in 2011/2012 before this awful illness started to take hold of me. I was a very active person with a good job, a partner, friends, ambition and to be honest i just enjoyed life.
Just thinking about the contrast to who i was then and who i am now makes me feel like i have a brick in my stomach. As i write this i can feel the anxiety racing through my body at the thought of asking strangers on the internet for help but i have hit a wall.
I wont be beaten by depression no matter how long it takes......
