Anxiety and Depression?!
Question: I am a 25 year old male who suffers from anxiety and depression. I have had this problem for 4 years now. And because of this I also have low self-esteem. And also suffer with panic attacks being around too many people.
Now, I try my best to overcoming these problems, however, it feels like I am fighting a losing battle.
The reason I suffer with anxiety and depression is due to bullying. I know that things change, and things are not like what they used to be when I was younger. But because I now suffer with low self-esteem it is very hard for me to forget the past and move on.
The things I try to help me overcome these problems is to go see my doctor and speak to my counsellor. I also have a part time job to help me to deal with being around people. Which has helped me in away. However, I still feel a have a long way to go before I am carefree about being around people.
The main problem I am having trouble dealing with is my low self-esteem. I try thinking positively. I try living my life the right way. I have even made the decision, as I am still a virgin, to abstain from sex until marriage. Although, that is a long way off as I have to deal with my problems first before I even consider a relationship with anyone.
I guess what I am asking here is if there is away to move things on more quickly. I mean having anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and panic attacks around people for 4 years is a long time. I
