I am a 24 year old new wife from West Jordan Utah. I have a wonderful new husband and a great new life ahead of me. I've got so many blessings in my life, but I have suffered greatly from anxiety, and depression and people who have discriminated against me because of this. So...I am declaring war against anxiety, depression and the lack of understanding/knowledge that is out there concerning these horrible diseases. To start I just want to invite anyone suffering to PLEASE talk about it. Please comment. We need to help the world understand what it is like to have such invisible, but paralyzing disorders.

I have suffered from this for over 13yrs now and it takes atoll on all parts of your life....I am going through a bout of it right now.I fight so hard to get through it that's sometimes I just want to give up.But I don't.
I see you live in West Jordan,Ut. I live in Kearns Ut. right next to you.Small world.Living here in Utah with the weather the way it is does not help with our illness.I miss alot of work.
Take care.
I support you and your cause!
I grew up with this and many disorders. Through counsling and great friends and many techniques I have been able to overcome alot of issues which stemmed from my family of origin.
DR PHIL has alot of great books which over the years has helped me overcome depression and panic attacks.
LIFE STRADIGIES and SELF MATTERS are great books!

I too suffer from a lot of this plus many physical things and I too get tired of the stigma that is put on people with health problems. Or saying we are not sick because "We dont look sick" I have had depression on and off for most of my life, then I got the physical stuff and one feeds off the other... I support you too.
I went through it after a couple of surgeries. I never want to go there again in my life. It was awful. I don't think people really understand until they go through it themselves. Just to think back to those days makes me think wow I never want to feel that way again. Everyone is affected by it your family and friends and they don't understand. I didn't understand. My mom has had it all her life and I thought you need to just stop and get on with your life. It's not that easy.
