Closing a door to open another

For almost 3 years now I've been dealing with the crashing depression that comes with social anxiety. With quarantine and losing all the things that made me happy I've found myself stuck in the same spot I was 3 years ago.

It took me a year and a half to finally be free of my depression but now I feel like I'm being pulled back. My school has been taken away and I will rarely see any of my friends this year.

However I'm choosing to use this opurtunity and hope by me sharing, I might inspire others to do the same. Take this year as an opportunity to do all the things you thought you couldn't.

Play an instrument, start an Etsy, learn how to draw and bake!

At the start of quarantine I made a list of what I wanted to accomplish and have thankfully finished over half.

I think the best way to deal with depression is to find your anchor, for me it was music. Not just listening but playing and many days I'll play guitar until my fingers blistered.

But not just doing the hobbies, but finding the community within those hobbies, the people who can relate to you and the friends you can make!
