Hey there

I just today made a post about this. People who don't suffer from this, will never understand. I do.

Please take care of yourself. Anxiety is not a problem with your personality or mind. It's a serious physical brain disorder. I worked in the advertising industry for almost 20 years, under unbearable stress and trying to manage my bipolar/anxiety. My mind held up, thankfully, but my body gave in by developing autoimmune disease, leaving me unable to provide for myself.

There is no cure for depression and anxiety yet. Hopefully you'll find some medication that actually work, plus exercise does help if at all possible. Be very careful of Valium, Xanax, Klonopin, etc. They should only be used for no more than 10 days during times of unbearable suffering.

Here is my opinionated and completely subjective article:

If you take anything from this, know that there are millions of us who have to fight this fight. And that I understand.

Just rather choose a slower and simpler lifestyle if possible, even if it means having to go without some luxuries or having less money. You can't buy back your health once it's gone. Stress on top of anxiety is a silent killer. As in you can just about smoke 10 cigarettes a day equivalent.

Try and avoid recreational substances, especially alcohol and stimulants. You will get progressively worse and addiction is always just around the corner for people like us.

Strength to you
