Hey Pandas, Tell Me About Your Mental Health Journey! (Closed)

I know life has been hard for a lot of people! And I want to hear about your journey with depression and anxiety!

The Pandemic was been really hard and with school online I have had anxiety attacks at least every other week day and sometimes on weekends. I have not had any motivation to do things that I love to do such as writing, reading, playing music. I think part of it is so much time on a computer and inside and I’m really trying hard to get outside of every day.

I have ADHD and anxiety, and I’m definitely struggling because pandemic. Some days are better than others though, and doodling and reading helps A LOT. Mostly, I try to laugh or joke as a way of coping.

my other post didn't work so I'm reposting it.

I have been really negative and depressed and having random anxiety attacks when doing perfectly normal things. I started trying to replace my negative thoughts with positive ones (it sounds cheesy but it works for me.)

Oh no no no that's not cheesy, that's fantastic! It's great to hear that your trying to do better for yourself! I wish I could do that. When I try to do that it ends up in me having a bigger anxiety attack. Again great to hear your doing better!

I was good for about 2 or 3 months into the pandemic, then I started to miss my friends, after that everything went downhill. I went from happy, confident, and way way extroverted and outgoing to super stressed and insecure and socially anxious. Now I stutter whenever I talk to anyone outside my immediate family and start to shake when I see someone I know (outside my immediate family) lately I've been having more intense negative thoughts and I tried to seem happy for my friends but my best friend has commented that I seem a lot more closed off lately and I'm not sure what to tell her. She then tried to keep talking about it though I was very obviously uncomfortable with the topic and we had a mini fight and my negative thoughts got more intense than they've ever been and I had a brief thought of ending it all (of course I'm not going to, I'm too much of a coward) but now I'm okay so yup I'd say I'm doing fine

I'm really sorry about that. I'm not going to say talk to your parents. I'm not. It's not easy. So what I'm going to say is when your having thoughts like that just hug someone. It doesn't matter who. Just someone. You can also just cry it out. That will help. Read a book. Go on a walk. For gods sake go on a walk. These are scientifically proven to make you feel good. I promise. It does get better.
