How do you deal with anxiety + depression together?

...See more Hi folks, I’ve always had anxiety with some panic attacks sprinkled in. I’m fairly good at managing them and recognizing when my brain is acting up. Unfortunately, I’ve had some big changes in my life and it’s throwing everything up in the air. I’ve been dealing with depression on top of all this, which is making life extremely difficult. (and nasty intrusive thoughts to boot). Any tips anyone has on dealing with multiple things at once, please let me know! It’s extremely difficult to focus on what issue to deal with first with all 800 million things jumbled up in my mind. :(
Can’t sleep in same bed as my boyfriend?

...See more My boyfriend and I have been together for two years and we moved in together almost two months ago. We’re still figuring each other out at this point, but there’s been lots of positives and great moments. One bump we’ve had is on sleeping in the same bed. He’s really upset because I will not sleep in the same bed together. I cannot get good sleep with him very often. We are both on different sleep schedules, so we kinda wake each other up. (he’s a morning shift guy and I’m a night owl) He has to play music to go to sleep and it keeps me up at night! We have two beds and a futon couch so there’s places for both of us and no one ends up on the floor. My parents had really similar issues and they never slept in the same bed while I was growing up. This really upsets him because he doesn’t feel close to me. He really misses cuddling to bed and waking up and hanging out together. He feels like he can’t get quality time in the evenings. We’re both worried that this is him feeling neglected in the relationship instead of really being about the bed. Both of us are scared and I’m not sure how to deal with this. Any advice would be really appreciated.
