A little back story, I suffered from severe anxiety and crippling depression for around 8 years (around 2015-16 to 2024). Most days I felt hopeless, like I was trapped in a torture chamber with no way out. I was constantly researching ways to end my life. I would sleep at 3-5am and wake up at 2-3pm most days, and work night shifts feeling incredibly tired and sluggish. I did not care about my appearance or hygiene and was horribly. overweight. I did not care about my finances, spending most of my paycheck on rubbish, alcohol, junk food, drugs etc. I was in a constant negative mindset and felt angry and ungrateful for life because of how much suffering I went through. I had no passion and nothing to look forward to.
Since my journey of healing on May 19, 2024, my anxiety and depressive symptoms is mostly gone, I do feel down or anxious from time to time but it is more easily managed. I now look forward to going to the gym daily which is my passion, and am eating healthier which made a huge impact on my mood. I feel motivated in completing my fitness course which I am halfway through, because gym is my passion and I wish to share my journey and help transform the lives of others. Instead of blowing my money on drugs, alcohol and junk food, I am slowly researching how to invest in stocks, ETF's etc so I can plan for my future and think long term. I am now so grateful and see the blessings in my life, such as having a roof over my head, and having food to eat and having amazing people to talk to, at the gym and especially you guys!
If you asked me a few years ago if life would ever get better, I would say no chance and that I will probably take my own life soon.
Have a great day and I hope this post is a sign for you guys to not give up to your dark thoughts because things can get better but it is a very long and tough road
