How are you doing?

Hello, guys! How are you doing? Sometimes I need someone to ask me the same thing, so here I am - asking you all? 


I think I'm gonna be better soon, I actually feel a little bit better after sharing my story whit you and receiving so much support. Sometimes when I see an Instagram post about endless love, the sadness and depression come to visit me, that's why I use the social media less in the last days.


What makes you feel feel better?

Just keeping busy and active, e.g., going to the gym, taking a walk, taking a class. It keeps my mind off of things, works for me at least.

I'm doing ok. Still trying one day at a time to work on negative attitude and
anxiety problems. Do good sometimes and not so good at other times.
Listening to music and nature Utube channels helps me.

Interesting - I'm trying to disconnect from social media too. Just recently unfollowed a bunch of stuff on Instagram. Still some accounts related to anxiety, depression, etc. that I find helpful.
I'm probably more like Tired - just trying to get through each day, sometimes things are better than others.

Thanks for asking! I am okay. I started to have a little panic attack yesterday but it went away and I had a good day. How are you? What are you doing for Christmas? I am going out to eat with my brother. Do you believe that I am 63 and have never cooked a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner? Have a good day!

Thanks for asking. Over the past two weeks, I've moved from horrible to just bad. My doctor has worked with me to increase my medications which is helping some. I still have lots of anxiety and depression everyday, but at least I'm not at total rock bottom. Funny how I am very willing to accept 'bad' as a mood just so it isn't horrible. I pray god keeps me out of horrible. I'm guessing many of you can relate.
