sorry that you have depression and anxiety...I have lived through this too, I know how awful it can be!
I do hope you can feel better soon, let the fairies visit you in your dreams to heal you ^_^
I think I can be stubborn too when I think I am right or to defend my ideas, but I think depression increase this!
I think we often want inner peace but can feel it here and now, meditating,resting,doing yoga etc, but life with inner peace is boredom don't you think?
you don't have a motto? what about adopting this one:
it's better to rise than fade away ^_^
take good care of you
Blessings
