I know, now, it won't be understood. When it comes down to it, it's just a decision. I also know that it's easier said than done... I am a recovering agoraphobe with major depression. After years of suffering and meds only being.... A short term thing (and not working!), I had a really hard time getting out of it! Counseling works great! As long as you remember that it's your job to do the work and not the counselors. Even if it's only to talk things out, that still helps.

Someone gave me the best advice ever. I threw out the pills, saw a counselor for a year, and just decided! "You have just as much right to be here, just like everyone else!" I DECIDED to quit being scared of everything, and started leaving the house.... I DECIDED to be happy, and stopped moping around. It helps to focus on the things that make us happy. No matter how great or small! Make sure they are positive things, too...

I'm about to be 41... I have lived more in the last 2 years than I have in my whole entire life! Ironically, I now work in customer service and even the mean, nasty ppl do not dampen my spirit! 😄

I thought it was just me! I'm not sure if its just a phase or something major. Been feeling like I need to talk to a therapist, but then talk myself out of it (trying to explore other alternatives). Lately, i've done the exercise thing and I agree it does boost your mood. But hell i'm so damn achy I sometimes miss work. I really need to get a handle on this. I've been following various astrologers and Gemini's are having a hard time in general. And boy am I looking for a little relief!!!!

Wow.spot on there,brilliant!

I exercise once a day too and yes,it just help me keep my shit together.And I also suffer from those panic attacks every now and then,where I get sick to my stomach-literally bowel movement and all.

What I strive to learn and remind myself everytime I go bonkers-is to separate emotions from logics.Try it.

I'm literally more Gemini than any Gemini,with both Moon and Venus and Rising in Gem.There is nobody more 'halved' than me.I am the epitome of duality.Trust me,it's painful at times.

When I was younger I suffered of chronic depression.Therapists and medication do nothing for me.I started exercising,bodybuilding and then I went on to re-build everything,my image,my mind,my body-my life!I got a lot into the law of attraction and I created vision boards of everything I loved and wanted in my life.They hang everywhere around my house and I never lose track of myself like I used to.Us Geminis need to find something that grounds us.Something within ourselves,nothing external.I guess it's a rather general statement.

Either way,visuals work for me.I now live in a constant state of love and abundance and everytime I feel myself sleeping I either hit the gym or remind myself that it's all in my head-PERCEPTION.You can put everything back together with your MIND.So train your mind and your body will follow.

Good luck and loads of positive vibes to you XOXO
