How to overcome depression and anxiety
It made me
Stable
 "The solution for me was a combination of things, meds, therapy, CBT, soul searching, work I love, friends and many others."
How I did it: This goal isn't something that will happen from one day to the next. I didn't even notice that it really completed. And like I say in my summary, it's really the combination of things that have contributed to my success. Lessons & tips: Whatever you do, you have to stick it out. You can't take your medication one day and then forget about it for the next two days and expect it to work. You have to build a relationship with your therapist so that they can understand you and help you in your journey. And that takes time. Resources: CBT

How I did it: I've been on meds for depression and anxiety for three years, and they dulled the symptoms, but it was still there.

Times like this are when i wish time machines exited. Skipping school has become a simple task like brushing my teeth. I’m the only one in my class who just plain doesn’t care about my education. So i’ve decided… I’m joining the navy. I haven’t really been this excited about anything since i took my first e pill.. so i guess its progress right? My family seems to not care except for my cousin who has always supported me. I’m just hoping these plans actually go through because a fresh experience in my life is what I’m in need of right now.

I really wish sometimes there was a way that we could deliberately forget of erase memories from the brain. Just like a computer. Don’t like something? Delete.
There are so many things in my life I would love to forget. They come back to me and create anxiety and depression. They just come sometimes, and I can’t stand it.

Was a raging bitch this evening. Made my 10 yr old cry, and when his dad got home he told on me. So my husband gave me a firm talking to – the usual one about not being such a raging bitch to my child. Again.
Later, I cooked a delicious meal and helped son put together a project without being a bitch. Much. Progess? I think so.
Still feel like cutting someone. And cursing. While cutting someone. I swear, if I wasn’t so emotionally retarded as a teenager, I would have killed someone by now.

The goal is to overcome depression and anxiety—not be cured. These are issues and emotions I will deal with for the rest of my life. But, after much soul searching, some lifestyle changes, and therapy, I’ve finally learned how to move through anxiety to achieve my goals. As a result, the depression is also losing its grip on me. I now have the tools to cope with whatever life throws at me.
So, with all that said, it’s time to cross this off my list.
