I’m in the middle of an emotional breakdown. I haven’t been properly medicated or had effective therapy in almost a year because of not having insurance. I had gotten a job last September and moved to a different state, so lost my state sponsored insurance, and wasn’t there long enough to get insurance. It took me until last month to find another job and I’ve moved to yet another state for it. This is all to say that I’ve been under a lot of stress, my anxiety high, and depression pretty bad since I lost my insurance. On Thursday my anxiety went higher than it has in years and has not come down. I have no support network. I’m not looking for advice. Just some kind words.
I want you to know that your strength and resilience have been remarkable. It takes an incredible amount of courage to face the daily challenges of anxiety without a support system by your side. I admire your ability to push through, even when the weight feels heavy and the world feels overwhelming. Your journey has undoubtedly been difficult, but please remember that you are not alone. There are people who care about you and are willing to lend an empathetic ear or a comforting presence whenever you need it. You are deserving of love, understanding, and compassion, and I hope that you find solace in knowing that your experiences matter and are valid. Keep holding on, for brighter days await you, and you have already proven your strength by enduring this far.
