So often bloggers go around posting about their seemingly perfect lives but, I love the fact that you're not afraid to share the more unpleasant side of your life. It helps me feel like it's ok to be human.<br />I suffered massively with depression and anxiety while I was in Uni, and by my final year I would have a panic attack atleast once a week. It was horrendous.<br />Thanks for posting about this babe. It's nice to be able to relate to you that little bit more...and more importantly encourage others to get help if they're struggling with mental health issues because so many people these days arent willing to admit it for fear of appearing week.<br />Nice one love!

Life is hard enough for anyone without personal issues holding you back. I'm so glad you posted this. It's about time the world started talking about mental wellness and reducing the stigma attached. We'd all be a lot better off for it. It's incredibly brave of you to post such intimacies and I'm sure people will appreciate your honesty. If this helps other make that GP visit and get their lives back on track away from the fear of mental instability you'll have done an even better job than merely conquering your own demons. I wish you the best of luck, and hope others find courage to do the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509383369204872316.post-75348267331746521312012-05-09T18:15:39.941+00:002012-05-09T18:15:39.941+00:00My sister has experienced a similar thing - GF fol...My sister has experienced a similar thing - GF followed by CFS and depression/anxiety.

My best friend has been suffering with anxiety for almost four years now and its heartbreaking to see somebody feel as though they are worthless when they actually aren't and they're an amazing person. I often have those days where I feel incredibly low and worthless, and it even affects my relationship sometimes, so I guess I know where you're coming from. Reading your blog shows that you're such a lovely girl and you're definitely not hopeless. I admire you for posting this because it must take real courage to do so.<br />Lovely blog. :)<br /><br />http://http://t0astandtea.blogspot.co.uk/ xm o l l yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982043536827841045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509383369204872316.post-68695542621243562782012-05-07T06:32:19.651+00:002012-05-07T06:32:19.651+00:00I have to admit I neve comment on blogs.

I've been battling depression for the last few months, trying to get through it by myself and sometimes it just feels like you're the only person going through it and even talking about it is too difficult because then you feel like nobody will understand, so to have someone like you write about their own experience is amazing because it makes me think that there's something I can actually do to cope with it.

It's so sad that mental health is still so stigmatized. Ive had a history of anxiety and depression and those pits of black dispair are just horrid and feel impossible to get out of, no matter how lucky your situation may seem to others. I found my way out by finding my focus (career) in life and cutting out the negatives in my life. Unfortunately for me, a lot of my friends actually really struggled to be understanding and actually seemed to back away. Lucky for me I have an amazing boyfriend who helped me through (even after the crap I threw at him during the depths!). It just goes to show that persistence does pay off, there IS a way through, you just have to keep pushing. xxxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16087412958242189440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509383369204872316.post-84907790298422170512012-05-06T19:32:37.219+00:002012-05-06T19:32:37.219+00:00thank you for writing this <3thank you for writing this <3skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652526510878765687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509383369204872316.post-12832651179349512302012-05-06T19:18:04.776+00:002012-05-06T19:18:04.776+00:00Thank you from the bottom of my heart Lyzi ♥Thank you from the bottom of my heart Lyzi ♥Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583367209798343490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509383369204872316.post-81865961348637365212012-05-06T18:11:24.622+00:002012-05-06T18:11:24.622+00:00It was very brave of you to write a post like this...It was very brave of you to write a post like this and I think people should be a lot more open about things like this because far too many people suffer in silence.
