...See more I believe one of the hardest things about depression & anxiety is that people can be very triggering. Unfortunately, we cannot escape some people, which often hinders our healing. šŸ˜”

...See more *just posting to clear my head* Iā€™m not necessarily seeking advice even though I appreciate it. Sometimes having an outlet just to clear your mind can be helpful. šŸ™‚ My depression this weekend was severe. I really needed a mental health break from last weekā€™s meltdowns but didnā€™t get it. I hope I can get through this work week and next weekend do nothing but enjoy the weekend. ā˜€ļø Do you ever feel that way? Like your downtime was a wasted opportunity for peace and relief because your depression and anxiety was too bad. Ugh. This week at work will be a real doozy. Iā€™m exhausted already and the week hasnā€™t even begun. šŸ˜† Thoughts, prayers, and good vibes appreciated for the best week possible. šŸ’›šŸ’›šŸ’›

...See more In the past few years, Iā€™ve felt like I have so many problems I donā€™t know where to begin ā€œfixingā€ everything. Where do you start when you have so many different issues? How do you start? My depression is very severe. So, itā€™s hard to commit to anything. Where do you commit when itā€™s all you can do to throw on clothes and go to work? i want to do and be more than just going through the motions.

...See more In the past few years, Iā€™ve done worse compartmentalizing my depression and anxiety. This makes being at work very challenging. Today was a really bad day and I donā€™t know how I was able to survive the day at workā€¦ On Friday, my depression was so severe that I asked if I could have the day off, but was told no. Do you ever feel like, well, one day theyā€™ll just be wheeling me into a psychiatric hospital if I canā€™t take time off for my mental health. šŸ˜† Funny, not funnyā€¦

...See more As I read the posts, it feels like weā€™re all in the same boat. I would write my own feelings but it honestly sounds like everyone elseā€™s. Times are tough and it feels like thereā€™s no reprieve in sightā€¦weā€™re all exhausted. Has anyone ever quit a job just to have a few days off before starting another one? šŸ˜†šŸ™‹ā€ā™€ļø

...See more I think part of my problem is that Iā€™m too co-dependent on others for happiness and self-worth. Much of my sadness is due to relying too heavily on others for love and support. If someone canā€™t meet us half way, shouldnā€™t we stop going to that half way mark every day? Especially if itā€™s making us miserableā€¦
Overthinking & Anxiety

...See more I had a rough day with overthinking and anxiety. Itā€™s very hard for me to get out of the overthinking cycle once it starts. I feel like thereā€™s overthinkingā€¦and then thereā€™s an extreme more harmful version of overthinking. My thoughts can be very toxic and negative. If I had three wishes, Iā€™d use one to completely rewire my brain and change all of my thought patterns. Anyways, Iā€™m not necessarily looking for advice. Just posting for visibility & to put my thoughts into words. šŸ•Šļø If you have any book or article recommendations on overthinking, I would be grateful..,
A Spark of Positivity
Positivity & Gratitude / by Olive1Q82

...See more I admit i have to work hard when it comes to positivity and gratitude. It takes intentional effort on my part. šŸ¤ My job has not been going well for months. My boss is very meanā€¦.but only to me when no one else is around. šŸ˜¬ Itā€™s almost like subtle toxicityā€¦the gentle hum of cruel words all day, every day. She should get points for finding unique ways to comment on my incompetence on every.single.thing. Itā€™s a gift. šŸ˜‚ So, I started looking for other jobs. I may have 2-3 interviews coming up and thereā€™s one job in particular that sounds like it would be a good fit for my personality. I am trying very hard right now to not give into negativity and just be positive, hopeful, and believe for the best possible outcome. šŸ˜ŠšŸ•Šļø
