Having a hard time lately with anxiety and depression [View all]

Probably related to some recent betrayal by someone I thought was a friend.

Not the end of the world, I know I will survive, and I didn’t deserve what was done to me, but sometimes things hurt in life, and even though I’m on meds, I still have some times when I struggle.

Just wanted to post so I feel less alone.

I know everyone here has times like this too, and I appreciate everyone here, the forum, and the chance to share and feel less alone.

Thank you.
