Hi,
I know what you mean. I've had days that have been seriously crap. I wonder why the hell I go through all this. At the end of the day it comes down to a couple of things. First, I had a life before this, so I do know what it's like to be anxiety/depression free. Second, I've got too much stuff to get done in my life.
One day and one moment at a time.

Hi,
I'm 20 years old and I understand what your going through this is my second time around too and like you I tend to stop when I feel better but with anxiety it doesn't work that way! You need to keep trying forcing yourself to keep going. Your right dying won't help at all in fact it will make things worst think of your family, imagine yourself when u were anxiety and depression free? How was your life? Then try to go back to being that person free of fears and controling thoughts. That's what I've done to try to get me back in track and it works it makes me feel like I can do it! Millions of people have why can't we? Also I pray a lot I am a very religious person and I know that it weren't for god I wouldn't be here! I hope I can help in any way but I've notice we have a lot in common because I too was studying politics in college:) good luck you not alone!

well one thing i've kept thinking about for a loooong time now is maybe i could try religion..thing is my religion isn't that quite supportive..i'm a muslim...i don't like sheikhs (muslim version of priests or whatever they're called)
i know i remember just a couple days ago i was smiling most of my day...even when i didn't feel like it all i put a smile on my face, that helped me
tried to talk to my sister about how i feel..she offered some advice..but thing is i can't talk to her completely about my feelings..she knows that i'm depressed..but not to what extent...
decided with her today..since we are both depressed and stressed lately...we'll study together and go jogging at least twice a week..hope i manage to get myself to do it

It's like when the doctor gives you a prescription for an infection. If you only take half of the pills and toss the rest out, you're risking the infection not leaving !
Finish the program. I was on some of the weeks for 2 or 3 weeks. I struggled through it. I finally got through it. It's not a race. Learn to truly relax. If you give yourself a chance, you just might surprise yourself. If you have any concerns or just need to release some stress, type away on these boards. I would suggest you finish the program.

Hang in there Taimour. You are not alone! Bad days will come again, and you need to just accept and allow them - you will get through them! It's all about your attitude. As the program teaches, sometimes it is healthy to be sad, mad, or anxious, but many times it is unhealthy. You need to learn to identify when it's healthy and embrace it - but when it is unhealthy, to choose to take a healthy path away from it. Good luck! Hang in there! You can do this! I struggled for a loooooonng time with anxiety and depression, but I am finally seeing the light. I think nurturing your spiritual side is VERY important to success here.
