Find a good church with good people. I personally go to COBIC on Nira St. God always helps calm your anxieties and issues with depression. You just have to give it to him.

Currently, I am in a partial hospitalization program for intense therapy and although I’ve only been there a few days something that has helped me is to redirect try to redirect your attention or your thoughts for instance, I had a anxiety attack during our therapy session and the therapist gave me a Word Search book to use, which would then take my mind and emotions off of my feelings and eventually bring me out of that anxiety

As for anxiety, Is understanding the feelings of anxiety. Why am I feeling it, the usual symptoms to anxiety and then once you understand why and how? You can start to talk to urself and say, I know these feelings and it’s just anxiety so I know my brain is playing tricks on me. Then you start to ignore the symptoms, breath slowly and just sometimes let it happen, don’t let it control u if that makes sense

'An Bunch of times , it's hard for me to talk it out.
I have coping troubles too. Yes I talk, I'm more quite than talkative.
I write down my anxiety thoughts , when I'm overwhelmed y i can't get it off my chest..
Yes I have anxiety, my wife , just being in the presence around her helps me with my depression.
But my anxiety, I'm still Journaling and working on myself about my anxiety, :)

My therapist told me to schedule reminders on my phone to check in with myself. Figure out how I’m feeling and understand why. Is it really warranted or is it me blowing something out of proportion? Step away for a few minutes to drink water or walk around. I found it helpful. Maybe 4x during the work day

Yesterday I officially got diagnosed with ADHD and MDD. I knew that I was feeling depressed but somehow getting diagnosed made me feel worse. I feel like I am a big failure. I had a mental breakdown yesterday night. This morning I woke up and cried for an hour at least. I had worse times in my life but this somehow feels like a trap I will never be able to escape. I’m so overwhelmed and lonely. Have no friends or family in the US. Don’t know what to do.

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

Took my first ever sick day today on account of my very poor and worsening mental health. Just could not bring myself to put in another 14 hour day with back to back meetings and constant activity. Felt very guilty but I honestly wish I could be more honest and actually share with my manager about why I took a day off.

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
