A new reader here :)
Superbly presented as many have already said.
Having suffered SAD/Depression leading to many symptoms above, I'd like to focus on your second question before a little about what I did to 'break the downward spiral'.
Whenever you feel sad or anxious do you also resort to strategies that alleviate the symptoms of your difficult feelings?
I think if these thoughts hit your conscious mind as you were having a 'spiraling thoughts day', less people would ever report sadness. For me, the negative cycle blocked out and overwhelmed positive thoughts and action, and so many days didn't really start at all.
Through tablets (which only zombified me), counseling, and a real 'F this' moment, I quit my job and moved to a warmer climate. The winter sadness cannot get to a point where living seems pointless, before the spring is here again :)
I shall be tuning in for more of your excellent work.
Thanks
Asher
Well @abh12345, thank you for the kind compliments and your positivity! It is always uplifting hearing stories like yours. Thank you for briefly, presenting what you went through. I am convinced that real accounts like this are very inspirational and offer a lot of hope.
All the best to you. 🌷
Thank you :)
I have started and not finished posts regarding this part of history in my life and cannot decide if there is benefit or not to 'unearthing', for myself or others.
I'm sure it will bubble in my mind again at some point as now you have given a little more encouragement to for me to share with a view to this providing help and hope.
Thanks again
Asher
