I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression 2 years ago. I have been out of therapy 1 year and 6 months. Two years ago I would have never asked for help I was forced to go to therapy.

I am so proud of myself now. Recently my anxiety started again due to a very bad situation full force.

2 years ago I would have hid my pain from everyone and faked a smile then cry in the bathroom.

A week ago I asked for help which is a huge accomplishment to me. I went to my husband and said I love you and you have been amazing and you do everything you can for me and I want you to know you have tremendously helped me but I NEED therapy.

I ASKED for help I spoke up and I cannot be more proud of myself. That is a BIG DEAL for someone who has anxiety and depression.

My husband and my family are all behind me supporting my desicion. For once in my life I feel like im not alone. And I am so in love with my husband and family for supporting me and being behind me 100%. First appointment is in 3 days on Thursday and so eager to start healing.

If anybody out there is struggling just please know your not alone and USE YOUR VOICE please speak up. You are LOVED and it's okayy to ask for help. Suicide is NOT THE AWNSER. life is precious and you are not weak. There is help

Sorry for long post just had to write about it and how proud I am of myself.
