People of Reddit, those of you who AREN'T depressed and DON'T have anxiety....what the fuck is that like?

OP, i’ve been diagnosed with (20% severe social anxiety & 80% avoid personality disorder) as well as pretty bad depression.

Not long ago i got prescriped a new anti-depressant, a lower dosage of an anti-d medicine i was already taking, and a lower stimulant dosage. I’m as happy as I was when I played baseball at 9 years old before i suffered from all my trauma’s. Just smiling ear to ear in every photo. My smile is the window to my soul now. Life is good!

Medicine helps. Therapy helps. Time helps. A failure is only a failure if you don’t learn from it. Asking for help is not a failure. Taking a semester or year off of school or work is not a failure. Crying is not a failure either.
