Depending on others

[Lena613]

I hate the way I have changed. I use to be independent & think for myself. Now I feel like as my depression & anxiety I feel the need to get approval from other ppl to make sure I'm making the right decision. I feel scared to think for myself. The anxiety is so bad my stomach hurts just thinking about decisions I have to make.

The same thing has happened to me too. I was the fearless kinds, but slowly, I've lost lots of confidence in me.

I've decided to make a plan to get myself back with baby steps. But its still in thoughts. I'll share once I have something concrete.

But I believe, since we were confident people at one time, we have the skills, we can reach back there.

it is okay. we all go through some hard times. learn to be nice to yourself during these times and be understanding. ask others for help during this time, it is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength that you know when you need help.

meanwhile, make small decisions for yourself and be confident in them!
