View submission: People WITHOUT depression and anxiety, what is life like?

I was diagnosed with depression and PTSD about 7 years ago, went through therapy for several years. Was declared stable in 2016. It took a while to feel normal again, wean off SSRIs, get my libido back, and feel like myself.

These days, I feel capable. I feel highs and lows, I'm able to perform at work and as an adult with a family. The tools I learned, and time I spent in therapy were the greatest investments of my life and I use them every day. Without the support I received and the work I did, I would be dead.

I'm so glad you were able to get through that! Therapy is always a big help and should be advocated more. I'm so proud that you achieved a place where you are stable and living well!
