Hey @stevenalexander! Thanks for sharing this.
Please, don't be sorry for how you feel. The people who love you will stick around and support you always.
In a society that too often throw at us unrealistic standards of happiness, trust me when I say that being yourself and acknowledging your pain it's a courageous act.
I just wrote a post about a glimpse of my experience with anxiety and depression, don't know if it can help but if you want to check it out below :)
Looking forward to read more of you. Thanks!
