How can I manage anxiety and depression?

  Been there done that..its not what you look like it's how you feel inside. If you need to cry it's cool let it out.                                            But dont hide yourself away from life and happiness. Think back to when you was a kid and try to remember what made you happy.  Me it was going to movies, going to read book at the Library.                                         I fell in love with Magic, and clowning. I would read all the books that I could find. I learned many magic tricks, I started doing shows, I just loved how it made me feel inside to hear people laugh and to see them smile.                                                                   And I feel in love with yes that's right rollar coasters.  Man I love them. I drive a semi truck , and at times I request  runs to different states so I can ride the rides.                     And I love jumping  out of planes too, This past Thanksgiven, I was stuck down in Georgia, and I had a cousin down there, and he served at Fort  Bennings,  we went to his parents grave to clean it up some and put new flowers out.                                                And we had to go thru the Checkpoint.  And he gave them his ID, I gave them mine, and it showed up that I served at Fort  Campbell  with the 101st.                    The guard asked what we were doing, and we said we were going to his parents grave on base,  after that,  we was stopped at the gate and was told they were going to take a few planes up with some visitors, and they wanted to know if we wanted to go up. I said only if I could catch some sky,  i had a grin on my face as i said that, and the next thing we were up  in a plane over the drop zone, got up to a ceiling of  30,000 feet, I had a small air tank  on my jumpsuit , and out the chute I went.  Now a days there is a special sealed room with a chute you fall thru in the middle of the jump plane . You just cross your arms and push off, and you dead drop about 15,000 feet or more and pull the cord..                                                                                        I could go on and on about doing things to make yourself happy. My name is Adam and if you want to talk some.  Let me know.

Thank you Adam. I really needed to hear that. 

@Summer3  things get hard at times like this and i feel you. but everything happens for a reason right???

I have been suffering from anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. It doesn't help I have a few people in my life that bring me down, by always finding the bad in my life. I struggle to talk to my boyfriend about the struggles I have because he doesn't understand what I'm really going through. I feel like I'm losing people because I struggle to do anything.

I don’t know what to do. I feel sick. I am one year out of high school and am working for my dad who started his own company last year. My life is good... but I miss being depressed, I know it’s wrong but I really do. My senior year was pure depression it just seemed like nothing could go right but yet so many things did go right but I was depressed. I miss going to the school I hated seeing my football coach who never gave me the time of day during the season and feeling worthless and cheated. I miss having my headphones in all day trying my best to avoid interaction. I miss not caring. I know it’s wrong but I have a longing that I can physically feel in my chest that wants to go back in time to relive my dark, lonely depressed times. I miss just going through everyday not feeling. I miss thinking about death and how much better things would be without me. Even at my lowest point I could never kill myself but the thoughts were there. The build up was there. I just feel so messed up. Am I sick? Do others feel this way? I spend a lot of time hoping one day I can get a chance to go back. 

I suffer from depression, anxiety, bipolar, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, stress, insomnia, social anxiety. It's really hard to cope with all this!
