Depression attacked me today on my day off ... felt like I couldn't do nothing .. only got out of bed to eat alittle and use the restroom... Felt like I was being held down and so exhausted... Then tonight anxiety attacked me... Felt something on my chest and anxious 😔 ... But I did end up cleaning my kitchen and vacuuming the living room.. so that was the upside lol .. I feel kind of relaxed right now though... Feeling alittle accomplished than earlier today... I hope tomorrow will be better. 🙏🌻🥊

Yea usually my anxiety hits me really hard when I'm worrying about something when I hear something thats a trigger to me. But this past week for me,the exact second I wake up in the morning I wake into a panic attack,which is weird because something has to trigger it, it doesn't just go off, for me at least. People experience anxiety differently sometimes. But thats good that your anxiety and depression has passed now. I hope you really do have a great day tomorrow! God Bless!

Hi Kay8901. That’s great you ended up feeling better, AND having a clean kitchen. Sometimes I can work through it too — by super focusing on speed-cleaning....or organizing, cleaning out junk that hasn’t seen the light of day in decades.

My brain is sometimes like a toddler’s, and I can distract it from feeling bad. Other days, I can’t even get up I’m so exhausted. Very frustrating indeed...

I hope tomorrow is better for you too! 🌞 🍄 🦋

When your hands are busy your mind is resting , work is always a good distraction

I know what that is like. My E.S.S. cycles last up to a month now, it only gets worse with time. I hate when everybody tells me just get up and do something it will make you feel better. They will never understand what depression is. Then they get mad because we are not trying hard enough to do what they want. If or when I come out of the cycles they think they cured me and it will never come back. Then the shit starts again. It's the same routine over and over, they will never get it. ( ESS cycles is something I made up. It is when it's the only thing you do. Eat,Sleep and shit)
