Struggling.....

I'm really struggling this week. I'm so mentally and physically exhausted from my anxiety and depression. I just wish I could be happy without depending on others to supply said happiness, but it is so difficult to try and love yourself when you just don't feel it. All I want to do is sleep so I can turn my brain off...........

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I go through patches of this too. I know how hard it is to self love I’ve tried so many years. Try to find things that will bring a little smile to your face, force yourself out into the fresh air and go for a walk. Listen to music. You can do this!!!

Listening to music is one thing that helps get me through these rough times. No clue what I'd do without it!

Yeah it can take awhile to find the right meds. That is one thing I don't want. I don't want to lose myself because of too much medication.
