Schizoaffective Disorder

A simple message can go a long way—especially when someone is having a tough time. But for those who haven’t experienced depression, knowing what to say isn’t always easy.

What’s a text message you’d love to receive in the midst of depression? Why would that message feel helpful, encouraging, or comforting to you?

Mental and physical health go hand in hand, so when you’re experiencing mental health symptoms, physical symptoms may show up as well.

For me, when my depression feels heavy, I experience extreme fatigue. When I’m really anxious, I tend to feel nauseous and scattered, making it hard to focus.

What about you?

Hi Mighties! 🌱

It’s been a bit of a tough few weeks for my brain. I’ve been taking in a lot of new information, carrying an increased load of responsibilities, adjusting to the seasonal shift (I tend to experience seasonal depression in the warmer months), and my birthday is coming up. None of these things are inherently negative, but they’ve felt overwhelming nonetheless.

I’m learning how to take better care of myself, especially since I haven’t been prioritizing it lately, which led to a panic attack this past weekend. I’m trying to incorporate more “me time” in ways that don’t feel like added chores. Lately, that’s looked like reading more and rewatching my favorite shows and cartoons.

What positive coping strategies have been helping you feel more balanced or manage your symptoms lately?
