Andriel_Isilien Posted November 15, 2022 Report Posted November 15, 2022 Ran through my stash collection on self-care about depression and anxiety. This has helped me. I saw the comment about having a "soft night" or a "soft day". Do things slowly, gently, and with no expectations.

Guest Posted November 15, 2022 Report Posted November 15, 2022 I relate so closely to the second photo you posted @Redneck-Kitty..with my Generalized Anxiety, i feel like i have lost all control over my brain. I would lose hours, flip a page on a textbook and forget what i just read, have to have someone repeat what they just said because i heard them but it didnt really store correctly in my brain but on the flipside I could describe things that happened a million years ago in great detail, remember where I placed something months ago or remember a friend's childhood number... I legit thought i was making it up (i was countlessly told i was making it up so I just started believing I did). It wasn't til I got older, learned about how anxiety, depression, etc can effect how your brain stores things, and how the Flux of chemicals released can damage memory storing that I understood it wasn't my fault I had these issues. I wasn't a broken doll that was worthless but the things that broke me is what made my brain this way. And that I can slowly work to build it back, but it will take years to undo what has been done.
Sloth Fairy Posted November 15, 2022 Report Posted November 15, 2022 I have both depression and anxiety. It's a kind of cyclic circle of Hell when at it's worst especially this time of year. One leads to the other usually. 2 1

And yes, mine get worse around this time of year too. I think it has something to do with the weather and cold, gray, dreary days 1

Alana_Lala. Your not broken or worthless. you are You. I am Bi polar mostly on the depression side. I have seizure and anxiety attacks on a daily basis. I thought my memory issues where just age related. It's not. Both the depression and seizure do long term damage. But I am still Me. Those things may slow us. But they do not stop Us. I apologize if I have done anything wrong. I am nu here's. Edited November 15, 2022 by John John 1
