I think you just post what is on you mind. There's power in knowing others have the same type of feelings that you, we all, have and experience. Hopefully, some of us can be of help or reassurance that everything is okay.

Yes please my anxiety and depression is so bad

[GrayGoose66 in reply to Dogmad600]

Do you journal? Draw? Anything to help ease your mind? I recently had to come back to work after 5 months of working from home. It's been a struggle. I wanted to stay home, but I knew I needed to come back. I was finding it easier and easier to NOT leave my house. I needed the structure of having to leave my home, even though I'm still not liking it very much. Have you ever heard of Zentangle? It's basically drawing lines and circles in a repetitive form. It really helps to stop my brain for over focusing or staying in a loop of super anxiety.

Nope I colour do mindfulness listen to radio

[Hidden in reply to Dogmad600]

Ok I’m sure you’re wondering how to make it easier? How are you attacking the depression? Or is it just attacking you right now?

Feel free to message me if it makes it easier for you....

I’ll def listen and try to help.

I’ve been battling it for about 20+ years

[Dogmad600 in reply to Hidden]

Attacking me only had it 4 weeks

[Hidden in reply to Dogmad600]

My first bad episode was prob when I was around 17 or so. For a long time I just numbed my head with weed booze and painkillers.

At age 36 I went into my first psych facility and started meds and therapy. Therapy doesn’t do shit for me. I pick apart my therapists..

Meds helped me greatly at first to sober up for a while and learn about my issues.

Now I’m back on the weed daily and one med.

[Dogmad600 in reply to Hidden]
