Hello, I hope you’re reading this I’m good health.
It’s been about 2 years since I initially made an account here. I was really going though a tough point in my life. Didn’t have any real friends, didn’t know where I was going professionally and host of other things.
Can’t say things have changed all that much on the surface but I will say my outlook on my life and future has dramatically improved. I understand myself a little more and what I want out of life. I don’t necessarily get anxious anymore, it’s more like I start to realize when I’m in my own head and I quickly jerk myself out of it and am able to hold conversations without too much of a problem.
A lot of self reflection and self improvement has helped me along the way. Instead of just being sad and wallowing in my own sadness, I proactively have tried to work on my self through physical fitness, hygiene, finances and a tad bit more social and talkative in situations where I normally wouldn’t say anything. It hasn’t all been perfect but I feel like I’m moving in the right direction and that’s all I could really hope for.
Thanks for reading 👍🏾

Thanks for sharing this, I too am dealing with depression-lost my job last month due to disability discrimination (no family around to help) but I am looking for another one and I don't feel as bad as I did before. I am reminding myself to stay positive, diligent and to applaud my efforts. I know something better will turn up.

Thanks for your post. I really hope time can make it all a little more bearable. I’ve been keeping up on fitness and diet. Just need to employ your technique of getting out of my head when I can feel myself sliding down.
Congratulations! You're moving in a beautiful direction. I understand completely how you feel so thank you for sharing.
I received a book today that I ordered and started doing the work which has already given me some insight into thoughts and how they make us feel. It's called The Work - Loving what is by Byron Katie and it helps unravel depression and anxiety amongst other things. I'm moving into understanding now which brings me relief.
