Focus on the happy things in life, no matter how small they are. I promise that it gets better after that.

Give yourself 1 hour. Sit by yourself and go over the things that are happening to you. Look from the outside and See yourself As this person who is going through this emotional roller cluster. What would you tell this person? Be kind, be realistic, be firm, be impartial and most importantly , be patient As you speak to yourself.

I would suggest you to seek professional help because it did help me get better when I felt like I was at the brink.

Overcoming both anxiety and depression is a very difficult struggle, and the path to recovery from both will be long, but its possible. At times the two of these things go hand in hand, and make overcoming each one more difficult, but if you tackle each problem, one that tends to hinder you more, step by step, you can reclaim your life, and you can reclaim your hobbies again, each is a process, but after finding the coping methods that work for you, and putting them into action when you need to, you can get yourself out of that struggle, and you can bring yourself to say, I did it, I beat my anxiety and depression, and don't fret if you relapse, relapses happen, just get back up on your feet, and try again, you got this, believe in your ability to get better and you will because the effort you put forth is the output you will receive in recovery. :D

Give yourself time for self care and do things to take care of yourself first. It can be anything from eating better, going to the gym, doing some yoga, anything that takes effort and makes you feel better afterwards. Additionally, seeing a therapist or psychiatrist can help you get more specialized or medication. Depression and anxiety are terrible diseases but they are also treatable illnesses. The problem is you have to take the first step for yourself and reach out to resources around you in order to get better. Just starting with basic self care can be a great start towards building yourself up as a person.

Anxiety is a difficult thing to deal with and depending on its severity it can affect you throughout your days. There are often good days and bad days with people suffering from anxiety. This is similar with depression. Both conditions combined can make it even harder. I don't know if you are professionally diagnosed but if you aren't it's important to get this diagnosis. If you are there is help such as therapy out there. If this isn't an option, sport, a support network and doing things you enjoy can be a platform for you to improve your mental health.

if it's possible for you, i highly encourage you to seek professional help. but, i understand that that's not a viable solution for everyone, so resources like 7 cups are a great place to start! if you can talk to a doctor (if that's possible), or a close friend/parent/sibling/relative that you trust, those are also great ways to help. also, while the internet can be unreliable at times, it's a great resource where you can find lots of support systems and potential resources for how to cope. but above all, try to get the help you need and deserve

the fact that someone suffers from anxiety or anxiety attacks and at the same time, depression, is quite common in cases of mental health and well being. i would first seek the help of a primary care physician, who would then recommend to you the care of a psychiatrist and/or a therapist. overcoming anxiety and depression starts with acceptance - please say to yourself, "i suffer from mental illness and i know that i need to admit that i should seek help." mental illness starts with chemical imbalances in the brain that, when untreated, lead to the patient suffering from emotional pain and anguish. if you have anxiety or depression, please speak to your health professionals for the help you deserve!!!
