I hear you @Captain24 ,

When things seem too tough, you don’t even need to take each day as it comes. Focus on the next 5 minutes even, and gradually build it up to 30 mins, 60 mins etc. This helped me see life as more manageable.

And no, you are definitely not a freak. I used to think I was abnormal because i took antidepressants… well, that was until I realised most people around me were also on antidepressants. It’s absolutely okay. 

And yes, I find connecting with people on the forums helps a lot.
