Hi,

I have anxiety/depression, I have had it for many years, I don’t take medication for it but had counselling years ago. Since then everything has been ok,

I’ve spent the last four weeks battling it yet again, I thought of contacting my old counsellor but when I left her everything was good, I was at least moving forward in my life. Now, my life has stopped, it’s just, stopped. I’m working the same job, I’m single again, I’m still saving for a house, I have nothing new to discuss.

How else can I fight this? I’m taking Vitamin D, I’m taking time to rest and listening to what I need, I’m not pushing myself to look ok like I did last time. I’m feeling so broken right now and I’m sick of fighting this. It’s exhausting. I want to feel normal again.

Thanks for stopping by and reading this.

Sorry to hear you’re battling again. I’m in the same boat as you, suffering again from a period of being okay.

I’ve normally been able to keep it at bay with increased exercise and meditation. Fingers crossed it passes soon for you.

Fighting is conflict and will exhaust you. You're fighting the mind and the mind is the biggest bully you will ever come across.
What is the best way to deal with bullies?
You have been fighting this for years, has it done you any good? Perhaps a change in direction?
In other words accept the thoughts and let them go..............Do not hang onto them.
Thoughts are not real. Think about that statement. Thoughts are not real. Really slow down and think about it.
