Feeling better

Hi y’all!

Hope everyone is having a good start of the week. I joined not too long ago, and feel better, more hopeful this month. I’ve always had anxiety as long as I can remember, and it’s physically + emotionally exhausting. Also have had re-occuring depression the last few years without treatment or therapy (looking to try out CBT/talk/group therapy in the future), so have been trying to think creatively about solutions for myself. This last cycle of depression for the past few months has been a learning experience. Both a mix of bad and good. But some of the good I’ve explored are taking note of my family history of illness, practicing journaling, attempting yoga, watching my diet more (and trying to balance the binge eating), researching alternative herbal supplements instead of pharmaceuticals, wrote really bad poetry, and continue to try to reconnect with myself, that I hadn’t been doing the last few years or truly caring to. Somehow I did these things amongst the sea of days spent exhausted. Not wanting to get out of bed so many of the days. I guess I just wanted to put out there that your treatment is uniquely your own. If something isn’t for you, research. Trust your gut. Any treatment that isn’t helping more than it’s harming isn’t worth waiting months and months for it to start working. Your recovery, your health, your life<3 fight for it
