Every day is a battle to not give in to negative behaviours but it's so hard! I saw a post on Instagram about how giving in to unhealthy copying mechanisms is detrimental but I don't know what the alternative is. 

I've had depression for 20 years (I'm 31 now) and anxiety since I was a very young child. I know it's something I have to live with but I don't know if it'll ever get better.
