Is hard work and patience enough?!
Question: Is hard work and patience enough!?
I'm 24, and I've had chronic depression since a fairly young age!. I developed obsessive compulsive disorder in my college years (not sure how that happened, stress I guess) I've always tried to keep a positive outlook and attitude and I've never been one to complain!. I've been on and off medications, in and out of therapy!. I feel so isolated in my sadness!. I am not like most college kids- I don't go out, I hardly leave my room!.
I have no desire to really talk to anyone and lately I just keep making excuses to not go to therapy!. I've been tossing around the idea of quitting medication but I worry that I will just descend further down into a black abyss!. I don't want to be apathetic (I've never been) but I am just tired of the routine!. Tired of TRYING to keep afloat, working hard, being patient!.
I just want to close my eyes and be alone!. I want to drown out the world!. I'm scared of these feelings!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
