    Hey lozzer

    I’ve lived through anxiety and depression most of my life, and the one insight into my experience is that it doesn’t matter what triggers you, or what upbringing you had, unfortunately it is a mental illness that doesn’t have to have any logic whatsoever!

    For me this is the scary part, it can happen at anytime and to anyone.

    However that is also the saving grace! It will disappear as quickly as it arrived. You just have to focus on getting through the here and now.

    There is absolutely no shame in not being your happy self. No one can be 100% of the time, your down times are just as true to who you are as the good times. So take the pressure off, be stressed and anxious if you need to be, and I guarantee if you give yourself that level of acceptance then you will feel so much better.

    Dear lozzer:

    Short term psychotherapy with a competent therapist is the way to go. You wrote you are low on money. I hope you can see a competent therapist who you can afford; maybe your parents can pay for it. Your anxiety has been going on for a while and it’s time to look into it more closely, in therapy.

    I wonder, since you said you didn’t suffer from anxiety before your parents’ semi breakup, as you called it, how old where you when they almost broke up, did they fight in front of you, what was it like for you?
