Did you miss out on experiences or things because of your mental health?

I got depressed so I took antidepressants tablet. I also took it for my anxiety.

I never had a social life because I was quiet and kept to myself. I have low self esteem as well. Can anyone relate to my situation?"

Yes I was exactly like this I used to stay in so much even after getting married. But now that I am on these pills I am doing a lot better I am in college getting a 4.0 gpa and making business calls, talking to people, doing my own appointments... I know to some people that might seem like just normal things, but to me it used to be a nightmare and I couldn't do them. I used to get anxiety attacks just talking to people on the phone xD
So just hang in there I'm sure now if you are feeling any better you will be able to push yourself further and do so many of the things you wish to do. Good Luck!!

Yeah i can my most recent anxiety and depression came from all the emotional and mental abuse i sustained from her. Me waking up at 3am 4am 5am 6am with panick attacks and anxiety. Heart racing whenever i see the blue indicator on her Instagram lightup for her stories she's posted wondering how bad the cheating is this time. Having nervous breakdowns so bad i put a bb pew pew in my mouth w the safety off ready to pull the trigger and sl icin g my forearm up hoping I'd bl ee d just to stop the hurt and pain she's caused. Having my heart race and anxiety through the roof if i even google her name or look at her Instagram stories and posts from her constant cheating

It's gotten so bad sometimes i become physically afraid of her as weird as that sounds even though we're long distance and she's 3000 miles away. And I've become afraid of her sometimes in general

Did the antidepressants help? I think the problem is not a chemical one, so the solution is not in changing the chemistry. Would you still be depressed if you had better friends?

Exactly I agree. It has more to do with the situation than just popping pills in your mouth hoping that the problem is going to go away!

Many people will relate, depression is very common unfortunately and people will tell you to get help (I got out of it on my own I guess but yeah if someone would have helped me that’s would have been quicker I suppose… the issue is to find a good therapist I don’t think it’s easy) I do feel like I’ve missed out on so many things, it’s sad especially considering we’re young but hey this is life and I don’t think I could have avoided it. Young years are not always your best years that’s a lie old people say…

Yeah also physical health
But it is what it is, what’s meant to be in my life will come no matter what. In the end it all works out fine wether we like the process or not.

Yes my anxiety and fear told me to stop talking to a wonderful man.
