    something I’ve been thinking about for a while…I’ve had anxiety and depression for so long, I don’t even remember who I really am. This shit started in middle school and I’m now in my mid 40’s. Anxiety and depression ARE who I am. This is how it’s probably going to be for the rest of my life.

      Yeah depression and anxiety don’t tend to get better with age if left untreated.

      You don’t have to live like that. Have you seen a shrink or therapist in the past?

      To be fair, you wouldn’t be Rowsdower if you weren’t constantly depressed and drunk. /s

      My condolences. I’ve never been hospitalized for my depression, so I don’t know what it’s like, but I hope it’s a good experience that helps you.

        Back out now. Had been to that facility once before and knew it was going to be a good experience. The staff are wonderful, the groups are helpful (dbt stuff, engaging supports, communication skills, etc), and they do a good job creating a sense of community.
