so i've been dealing with depression and self-harming tendencies for years now, and finally recently i decided to just stop and enjoy life, and because of my faith i was prayed over and delivered from the anxiety and similar. since then, ive been doing a ton better. however, today ive been going back to my old way of thinking, albeit a little better, and havent been able to even focus on my work because of it. i keep spiraling then bringing myself back to reality, and i haven't gotten anything done today that i needed to, and felt very unmotivated. does anyone have any tips to help my mindset/anything to motivate or bring me back to reality and stop my spiraling for good?

any suggestions would be amazing, love yall byeee

" because of my faith i was prayed over and delivered from the anxiety and similar."

Maybe try praying in the mean time again.

For what it's worth I believe in God myself.

Besides Prayer.. Do you (or did you) have a therapist, doctor, or psych that was helping you out before?
