Slipping into old patterns
Hello everyone, I have been battling depression and anxiety most of my life. My upbringing was (to put it politely) rough and I remember being extremely depressed as a child. I have gone to counseling off and on for the past 7 years and I have been doing a lot better until the last year. Needless to say life happened and a bunch of stressful events have come crashing down on me. I can't really talk to my family and friends because they either don't understand what I'm going through or they think I should just "let it go." But letting major hurt go has been a problem for me. I just want to get back on track were I didn't over think everything and I had some semblance of self esteem. If anyone has any thoughts/feelings/advice or just kind words to help me put it would be greatly appreciated. Talk to you soon.
