It was extremely difficult to pull myself out of ____, but, I did it. What was it for you?

None, really. My greatest trials were faced with the backing of family and friends, and in any case, I am plagued with this idea that everything’s going to work out.
I’m in a bit of a mess right now, career-wise, but I’m still looking for the gumption to reach for the ol’ bootstraps, so it doesn’t count.

A toxic friendship.It wasn’t all that dramatic,I just got sick of the BS. ;)

Depression and anxiety. I whooped its ass, though.

PTSD to due assaults. Messed me up big time. I’ve been in therapy for many years coming to terms with what happened.

I am happy to say that I know look forward to living instead wishing I was dead.

A week ago I struggled with both buying a new house AND the company I worked for…I wasn’t sure I was doing it for the right reason…but the smiles on my families faces and hugsx tonight when came through the front door of my new home after work let me know it was the right decision. :))

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I did it without medicine or therapy, but because of my young age at the time, it was possible.

@BBSDTfamily Good for you.
Well done to everyone! :)

I was a pretty moody and angry child of divorce. I let go of a lot of it over time. It’s still lingering a bit, but I hope to get it figured out soon.

Deep depression, brought on by betrayal and abandonment issues.
Drugs, therapy, and family support were invaluable.

An abusive marriage.

My ex manifested mental health issues after ten years of marriage. For a long time it was stay to take care of her, because of the marriage vows. But her abuse began to affect my health. Took me a while to finally leave.

A depression with suicidal tendencies that lasted roughly half my lifetime. I couldn’t have done it without therapy and meds. Life is so much better on the other side!

Morbid obesity.

Depression, panic attacks, agoraphobia, (and abuse by some long term toxic friends.) I still get minor wobbles now and again, and if I spend a few days without going out, I start to feel the trembles when I do have to go through that front door, but I’m surviving, one day at a time.
hugs honeys xx

Writer’s block. Finally got “The Happy, Happy Song” out of it.
