I am bi-polar, and I have anxiety and depression. I have battled this most of my life. When I had my first child, I went through post-partum depression and had to be hospitalized. Since then, I've been in therapy and have gone through many medication changes. I've also been hospitalized several more times and survived trying to commit suicide. Life hasn't been easy, but I've learned a lot of coping strategies through therapy and psych rehabilitation. I am finally at a better place mentally, but I know I need to keep taking care of my mental health.
