RE: My battles with depression and anxiety

in #life7 years ago

Thank you for sharing your experience!

When I was in high school, my best friend had weird physical symptoms, and sometimes we even laughed about them. She also was going to many doctors trying to find the problem.
Later I started to have problems with eating and that lead to other depression related symptoms, but I was too ashamed to tell anyone and search for help. At my worst my friend revealed that her symptoms was because of her mental state and she also had suicidal thoughts and panick attacks.
The dumbest thing was that a long time we were going through that alone just because we were afraid to spoke about that. It would helped me a lot then, if I knew that it's a common illness and not a shameful insanity.

So thank you again for raising awareness!
