I have had a couple of times in my life where I have suffered from severe anxiety. I am at a point in my life where anxiety and depression have snuck back in and with a vengeance. I just want people to know that it's ok to be going through this. It's hard and it's scary, but it can and will get better. I have made it through this two times before and I will see the light again. I just want to encourage others to keep hoping and praying because this will get better. God bless!

Hi ajones and welcome!

Thank you for the wonderful post of enouragement! You are so right on in saying...that though we hit a rough patch at times...that there is always hope!:)

We work through the hard times and embrace and celebrate the good times. Those of us with anxiety have some extra challenges along the way...but that only makes us stronger.

Thanks again for the important reminder, and please feel free to post with us anytime. We are an understanding and caring group, always here to support one another!

Talk to you soon,

Scaredy Cat

Thank YOU so much for the encouragement too! It's always comforting to have support. I am starting on lexapro today. I have responded well to lexapro in the past. I will just be glad when things start to get better, which I know they will.

ajones,
Someone such as myself that is going thru one of those "rough patches" at this time truly appreciates your words of encouragment! When in the middle of the rough patch it seems like you will never see the end of it. Great hearing someone has seen it twice over!

Yup. I have actually been through this 3 times. once for something stupid I did and twice with postpartum depression. It's always scary at first, but with the right help and even medication, it can be overcome. I know I will pull through again. that's the biggest reason I joined this forum because I know how hard and scary it can be, but I also know it can totally get better. Keep your head up and never lose hope. God bless. :-)
