Hello, I'm new to this. It's hard for me to open up, even to type this I am nervous. But I'm finding its more important that I learn to as opposed to keeping things inside. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in January, although the doctor never actually told me lol. I'm scared to take medication if my doctor finds it to be necessary. Did I do this right?

I know exactly how it feels. I used to smoke for anxiety. It was getting tougher. The addiction only made things worse. Now that I have quitter smoking I feel better and surprisingly anxiety and depression have also reduced. The best way to deal with it is to gain control over yourself. Remember that you are strong and that you have full control over yourself. :)

Wow, glad to hear that you overcame your past addiction. That is a hard thing to do, you're very strong yourself. Thank you.
