I don't know if you know but I had depression and anxiety for a year. I have not fully recovered. I have been on medication for a year or so. I stopped medication on my own just 4-5 months before coming here. So, it gets difficult. For the last 3 - 4 days my mind has been suffering. When I try to sleep, my mind is filled with thoughts.”
