I'm a mother of a great 12 yr old. I love being a mother but depression and anxiety has made it very hard to do. To be honest everything is hard to do. I haven't worked in 5 yrs and my concentration is not good at all so going back to school would be a challenge. I am pissed and plan to make this year count for something. I plan to work, lose more weight, and register for at least 1 class a semester this year.
I'm an artist and I love to read.

I have lived with depression and anxiety for 12yrs and I want to learn to live with it and not hid because of it. I know the fight or flight syndrome well. I run from everything but thats getting harder to do and livewith myself. I want to learn to work, parent my son, and live my life without being terrified!!!!
I have lived with anxiety and depression for 12yrs and its exhausting. I can't continue to live this way anymore. I plan to use this year to fight for my life. I can use all the support I can get.
Food has been my drug of choice for some time. I found that journaling every time I feel the impulse helps my understand it.
