I do hope you're being sarcastic!

I have never suffered from depression myself but I have seen the horrible effects on others all my life.

I hadn't suffered from anxiety until I was in my 50s, but then I was in an abusive (and crazy!) work situation and I found myself one day being unable to get out of bed because I was shaking so hard. I had been warned that the person I would be working for, the notorious Vinnie Falco, was a toxic personality, but I underestimated how bad that could be.

Once I left the job, I mostly recovered, but once the door is open to anxiety, it never fully closes again.
