I have a success story! I was diagnosed last year or so with general anxiety, depression and OCD. It was brutal, I was in a constant state of fear and emptiness. I had panic attacks when I had to make a phone call to a place of business or go to the grocery store. Ultimately what helped me the most was building my self esteem through journaling. Exercise was also a major component and I still do it regularly. If I skip a few days, I can feel the tension and Anxiety set in.

I still have anxiety and depression. They will always be there but I know how to manage it now. Meditation makes me much more in tune with my body and mind and I can squash that anxiety with some slow deep breaths. It gets easier and someday, you will get to the other side. Don’t doubt that. I wish you all the best!

Oh, honey! Don’t do that to yourself! He *looks* like he’s hanging out with beautiful, talented people. But is he? Those girls may have pretty faces, but as they pretty on the inside? We always look our best on social media. If he were suffering, you’d see no signs on Facebook!
