I've had long-term (10+ yrs) depression and anxiety, very little employment, okay physical health. I have problems overeating, and I stress eat very often. I'm terrible at socializing (it's exhausting and unrewarding) and have gone years with no friends or even acquaintances. I'm very lonely but fear other people greatly. I don't trust therapists after one tried to commit me. I'm getting older and I'm starting to feel my opportunities slip away.
Despite all this I'm far from my lowest point. I can keep myself at least satisfied most of the time and I know enough tricks to keep myself occupied or happy to stave off bad feelings. I have things that I look forward to doing or seeing that keep me going. I take care of myself, not amazingly but good enough. I am doing okey dokey!
