Introduction

As today I celebrated my birthday, I just turned 26 and have been dealing with depression/anxiety since I was 13.

It's been a bumpy road, sometimes I find myself at the top of a mountain and couldn't be happier, sometimes I'm so overwhelmed with fear and emotion that I just... either have a panic attack or take my prescribed medication to calm me down and then I'm just depressed. I've been in a bad boat for the past year. I want to blame it all on the anxiety but I can't. I have no interest in doing anything involving leaving the house for more than an hour or two. Everything I need for comfort/breathing room can be found within the confines of the walls I'm surrounded by. Idk. I'm so tired of feeling this way.. it's been so long..
