I have 16 months clean from drugs today, for the first time in a long time I can smile and mean it

Congratulations! Hang in there my friend! I'm going through the same thing and depression and anxiety is still chasing my ass. But having a strong support network from friends and family really helps a lot. I reached out to the friends that I have wronged and I apologised to them one by one, hoping that they'd take me back as a friend. I couldn't be more thankful that they helped me pull through the past few weeks when the depression hit the hardest admist this covid situation.

Talking to a therapist also helped me to open up to my doctor about the whole depression and anxiety problem, and they told me that oh that might be a side effect of a medication that I have been taking all these years.

I can't fucking wait for Tuesday to come to change my HIV medication to something that doesn't amplify depression and anxiety. It helps to know that there may be other factors that had been affecting your mental health that lead you down the path that you had took. Knowing what the contributing factors helped me to devise a better plan to migitate them.

Anyway, I'm happy for you! You are not alone my friend, let's work on this together!
