But you still young tho. When I was 26, I was full of energy and hooking up with girls even tho I was married.
I've suffered from depression and anxiety since I was 15. It's horrible.

That's sincerely fucked up.

Get on birth control if you haven't already.
And diet. Focus on eating healthier. It does help with that stuff quite a bit.

You just don't have anymore fight in you left? I feel like as I get older, my depression and anxiety just get the best of me. I just don't know how to deal anymore. I just wonder why I was cursed with these mental illnesses. It's not fair.
I had a doctor tell me recently, of my anxiety; "It's a symptom. It isn't you. Something happened to cause it." He said this during my intake, so he knew I wasn't "born with it."
Of course there are legitimate chemical imbalances that cause both. Maybe that's what it is with you. I dunno. Don't need to know the reason either. None of my business.
I'll tell you, therapy is important. And, like I told my niece; "What you don't deal with at 15, you'll suffer with when you're 20. And if you don't deal with it then, it'll come back to haunt you at 25. And 28. Then 30. 32. 33. 34. And for the rest of your life until you deal with it as much as you can. And it'll just get worse, and worse, and more difficult to contend with and combat."
Sucks. But it's the truth from what I've seen and known.
Don't give up.

What age were you when you stopped cheating? Or is the saying true...once a cheater always a cheater.

No I was faithful to all I had.

Ok I confused. Were you faithful? Or did you cheat on your wife...? Cause you can't have both.

@thecrazyariestaurus Maybe you just need some experiences that make you feel so excited, awestruck, and captivated that there's no room for depression or anxiety. Have you tried kayaking or horseback riding?This user is crazy. She don't know what she talking about

Freetobe is crazy? Or thecrazyariestaurus is crazy? Cause at least she has a disclaimer in her user name ? ? ?
Do you have anyone truly stable you can confide in and lean on? Are your surroundings hectic? Are you dealing with a stressful family/home life? Do you despise your job or the classes you're taking in school?
I speak from experience when I say that adding something, removing something, or taking yourself out of something if you're able to can drastically alter your mental state. I understand mental illness isn't dependent on circumstances, but often life changes can at least help. For me these changes happened naturally, not by force, I really don't know if it can be forced. I'm not truly giving advice, I feel as if I was just lucky enough to stumble out of a dysfunctional frying pan into a soft, stable, fluffy pillow. While my disorders aren't entirely gone, I'm much more at ease with the state of my day to day life and much healthier.
I went from a stressful, cold relationship into a solid and loving one. I went from a living situation wrought with turmoil to one that's virtually conflict free. Over the course of time I noticed myself feeling happier, more comfortable and more peaceful every day- until the constant sinking feeling subsided completely.
I sincerely wish that nagging darkness will dissolve for you too.

I was faithful to all I had. what's confusing about that? now that I'm older and simmered down, I only have one to be faithful for.

I'm confused cause you said you cheated on your wife but then you say, nope I was faithful. Did you cheat or no? And what age where you when you stopped cheating. When did you 'outgrow' it.

naw I never cheated on my wife. I never implied that. I said I hooked up with women even tho I was married. that simply mean I hooked up with them. not anything consensual or anything of that nature. heck I hook up with men too. hooking up don't have to necessarily means having sex or cheating.

You said, an I quote, "I was full of energy and hooking up with girls even tho I was married"
You need to find a way to get your badass on.
My Aries gets stressed out constantly and gets a little depressed. Her job is VERY demanding, her son has Downs Syndrome and her ex husband is a bi polar douchenozzle who scares the crap out of her (physical and emotional abuse). When I recognize she is having a rough go, I take her to do something fun and competitive. Air hockey or we will go shoot our bows for who's buying dinner! It's a win/win for us both.
