For the first time ever I am wishing I was medicated. The anxiety of things it’s too much. I went for a walk today and help a tiny bit. Depression was still there but anxiety knows it’s way home. Wasn’t long before I felt lk I was faking into Abis

Walking and exercise does help. There is no shame however in trying some medication for your anxiety though. Speak to your doctor. Have you also tried mindfulness and/or meditation? They can both help a lot of you do it regularly.
Sorry that you are depressed. What are you depressed about? Often we are concerned about something that will never happened. Or we are paying more attention to what people are saying to us or about us than we should. You can not solve every problem. Sometimes we have to accept the things you cannot change and have the courage to change the things you can. Ask God for the wisdom to know the difference in what you can change and what you can't. Hope today is better.
Thanks. My mother passed away a year ago. I was very independent once upon a time but my parents needed me and they moved in with me about a decade ago. She does of a second round of a sudden breast cancer. I guess her death is still so heavy. Apart from that covid is making stress out. I know we all Tired. My hubby is back at work and that makes me nervous as I live in a red state in the US where masks are gone, etc oh and I just move to a little town to a sort of isolated place. Those would be my main things apart of other issues. I have became hopeless.
Hi, I enjoy walking and its really good for lifting your mood or a distraction but for past year even going out for a walk is a real struggle for me due to my current depression and anxiety. Whats going on in my head spoils the walk and I dont enjoy it, Ive tried so many different strategies to bring me back to the here and now. What works for me is when Im out walking now I try to name things that I can see beginning with a certain letter or things of a certain colour. I know it sounds crazy but if I dont my thoughts are horrendous. I know how hard it can be to keep anxiety from taking control, but if you are able make sure you try and stay in the moment.Find what works for you.
