I'm 53 years old
I've been diagnosed and treated for GAD and Major Depressive Disorder for about 30 years
In 2018, I hit rock bottom in many different ways
I turned my life over to Christ at that time
I was diagnosed in early 2019 with BiPolar Disorder type 2
I was prescribed vrylar, a mood stabilizer, along with my depression (prozac) and anxiety (xanax) meds

After 2019 I asked Jesus to take away my desire to get high. That didn't happen, but my anxiety and depression was lifted.

So I didn't do anything - either vrylar or Jesus did it for me.

Before 2018, I used tons of self-help skills to deal with anxiety, including journaling, exercise, sleep, diet, and CBT. I had all sorts of tricks and skills that helped me. But in 2019, my anxiety was lifted, as was my depression.
