Hello I'm Eric 👻 turning 20yo this August.i need you all to read this please 💓 I have experienced anxiety and depression for a year now and i am still battling it. It started a year ago when i was over thinking and worry by suddenly without really knowing why and panic attack/anxiety started hit me real hard(you guys know how it feels at the first time right xD). Then after few weeks/days i keep on receiving anxiety attacks..i have no idea what to do and all i think about is: run from it and hide in my bedroom and cry, stay away from my family, like to be alone and negative thinking. After that i don't really go out anymore and i don't workout anymore although i used to work out every weekday. I became fear,want to be with family but feels like i can't,sad,and the most bad thing is worry about when will the next panic attack will occurs again. Day by day i am like that until one day i decided to do research as much as possible what is really going on with me. Then i started to find out it is the anxiety and depression keep me lock in a nightmare like this and prevent me to do even 1 simple tasks like go out to buy food or eat outside. When i already what is going on with me then i started to learn about myself and keep forgiving my past problems and whatever it is keep on making me thinking about a past things or negative thought i will keep on forgive and tell myself that do not ever ever give up!! on what you tryna achieve or what you trying to have or what you really want in life even tho it is so hard for me since my family didn't really know how to help me through this situation and until now i don't really tell them i suffered from anxiety and depressed. All i tell my them was i can easily have panic attacks and please understand my condition and don't put stress on me. So yeah they heard what i said to them and they noted it 😂 but sometimes kinda forget about it. Then few months passed, i am learning how to deal with depression and anxiety step by step, day by day by searching and learning about them...it feels like you wake up all the day battling yourself in order to survive. But time passes and i still keep on going and won't give up. One day later i realise that my panic is lesser than i thought, my anxiety and depression does not shows up always like it used to. Then i starting to smile again hope that i will doing better for what i learned or knows about the anxiety and depression. Day by day passed, the anxiety and depression is gone and i am learning to take control of it now. Nowadays i can go outside walk, being happy, eat with family and do things what i loved to do again. It just make me overwhelming happy lol 😄 but everything i do i still keep it gently and now am still have anxiety and depression but it is much better now than it used to be and i am happy for that but still will never ever give up on what i trying to achieve. Haha so guys, you're not alone and don't be shame for yourself for having anxiety and depression. It is not a bad bad thing btw and it can gives you positives thought too. So now i want to share with y'all how to really get control of it and cope with my strategy🙏❤first thing first:
