Yesterday I came to the realization that I suffer from depression. It's been a brutal couple of days and I needed to find people going through the same thing as me and I found this wonderful site. It seems I'm the last person to be offering anyone any advice considering what a wreck I am but your moniker touched me. Yesterday I also realized I was lonely, which is one of the reasons for my depression. I've had mild anxiety my entire life which has been more of a nuisance than a problem. Needless to say we have different reasons for our anxieties but I would just suggest having confidence in yourself, confidence that you're a good person and never worry about what others think of you. Be true to yourself. I would also add that if the medication you're taking is not helping you're probably better off not taking it, but that of course should be a conversation between you and your doctor. I'd be interested to read what you think about the support group you're attending. I'm considering attending one.

I wish you all the best. Have confidence that you will overcome this. You will.

Exodus, sorry it took so long to get back to you. The anxiety is at bay for now. I was under allot of stress and not realizing it caused my anxiety to be at it's worse. I do have confidence and care about myself but that doesn't stop the anxiety when something bad is going to happen. Thank you for writing to me. I need all the friends I can get.
