I am not new to the site but  I've never posted before. Like everyone here i struggle with the  same issues. However over the years i have been able to pretty much control my urges to the point where I was having a fall very infrequently. Recently, However, i have started seeing a therapist to deal with past issues and traumas I've been through and it has put me under great emotional stress. Along with that, trying to cope with my problems has also put a bit of a strain on my marriage. Add corona into the mix and you got a borderline depression. And all this stress and low self-esteem has brought me to suddenly having uncontrollable urges. I fell 3 times lately and the depression from that alone was very heavy. But every time i pull my self together and say i'm going to fight. Today I started questioning myself if i even have the power right now to fight. it's late in ellul and next week is Rosh Hashana and suddenly I find myself fighting something that hasn't really been an issue for me in along time. I don't know how to feel. I want to continue fighting i just don't want to be depressed. I just feel confused.
