Feb 2013

I struggle with anxiety and depression too. I really felt your message, its hard sometimes. I had a
"breakdown" 2 weeks ago....its awful. I almost lost my job. The worst thing is I didn't feel I could tell anyone why. It's shameful. Or at least thats how it feels. Drugs make me feel "numb", therapy was too expensive, so I deal with it. Remember the good days. I hope all is well.
