Depression

Hey i need help

  1. Hi . Many here understand the mental and emotional toll of living with HIV. This article from our editorial team discusses coping with anxiety and depression: https://prostatecancer.net/living-coping/depression-anxiety. If you feel comfortable sharing more about what you could use help with people here may be able to offer assistance based on their experience. Best, Richard (Team Member)


    1. Hey thx
      I dont know ist could live my life
      I prepere to Die than to live in this condition

      1. How can i live my life

        1. Hi . I don't know how long it has been since your diagnosis or the status of your treatment, but I can tell you that treatments have come a long way and it is now possible to live a full and happy life. We have community members here who are long-term survivors and have seen how much things have changed. Our patient leader Divina wrote here about "24 Years of Living with Hope:" https://h-i-v.net/living/maintain-hope. Another community member wrote here about realizing that he doesn't live with HIV, rather it lives with him as he goes about living his life: https://h-i-v.net/stories/hiv-lives-with-me. These are just a couple of examples. A full life is possible and hope is real. There are support services available that can help in numerous ways (see: https://h-i-v.net/living/questions-social-worker). Please know that this community is here for you. Best, Richard (Team Member)
