Time for this regular reminder: if you have persisting "untreatable" anxiety/depression, consider exploring and ruling in/out a #neurodivergent condition that you weren't aware of, such as #ADHD or #Autism.
The anxiety and depression aren't direct "symptoms" of those conditions BUT if you have unmet needs because you don't KNOW what you need as you have no diagnosis, this is what usually shows up in later life. It's what happened to me. #ADHD #Autism
The good news is that - once you've processed everything - the mental health stuff can reduce or go away. I am not depressed and I am so much less anxious now, and I can manage it better as I understand myself better.
Good luck on your self-discovery voyage. It's nothing shameful or terrible to be #Neurodivergent. There are challenges but also joys. It's worth looking into if it would relieve your mental health issues to know. Good luck!
Only so much you can pop in a thread but, obviously, magic doesn't happen overnight. You will need supports or to make some changes in many cases. Could be meds, therapy, coach like me, exercise for some - but you can be HOPEFUL.
By the way, folks. Self-diagnosis is valid. You can question your own online for free and never tell a soul if you wish. I also know I'm lucky that I was able to work and save for my diagnosis. I do activism and outreach to redress that a little.
