First and foremost, it is important to know that I am an active member of the LDS church. I hold a active temple recommend and consider myself worthy and faithful.
Furthermore, I suffer from severe anxiety and depression. I was diagnosed when I was 14yrs old and am currently 39yrs old. I have tried almost every prescription drug available to combat this terrible and debilitating disease! I want to make this clear..., this is a disease and one that rebbes a persons mind, heart and ability to live. In some cases it even causes death via suicide.
I currently and most likely will be on prescription meds for the rest of my life. I have had to accept my condition and the facts. It is also noteworthy to tell you that I am extremely active. I run, hike, snow and water ski. This depression has been passed through from my fathers side of the family. I have other siblings that also suffer from the same effects. Some have decided to be treated and some not.
