Has life become a never ending battle of suffering with chronic anxiety and depression? Do worry and stress nag at you day and night? I know you do your best, and have really tried to feel better. So why does it seem like other people have it all figured out and already know how to be happy? What are you doing wrong or missing? Even when you're happy it never lasts. You try to relax but your mind never stops. It's a constant stream of worries about the future, of what needs to get done, and it all seems so overwhelming. You know this is no way to live. But when tomorrow arrives, you will wake up and just start it all over again.
