I can recognize my symptoms of depression and anxiety when they show up, but lately it's hard to cope bc my regular coping mechanisms are screwed. I worked so hard to make those work and now I have to change them again! I can't go to my favorite coffee shop or wander Barnes & Noble, etc. Bah! So I'm using my secret weapon of stubbornness against it. I'm working on saying "you can't tell me what to do" when the bad thoughts come up. I think with practice I'll get better and better.
I hope you guys are doing ok. If it helps, even though we haven't met, I love you and I know we can do this. #Depression #Anxiety #cabinfever #mycurrentbestisenough
