I wear a black hat, my bag and a flannel to hide and feel comfortable. I also wear rings that I can play with to keep calm. I bought a fidget cube on ebay. What do You do when You are nervous? Have anything You wear or use?
I'm exactly the same I suffer from anxiety and depression and I have also learned to put a mask on and pretend everything thing is alright it's so much easier than trying to explain myself to someone who doesn't understand what your going through or doesn't have any real empathy I can see straight through someone who doesn't really care and is just trying to shut me up or pacify me but when l facilitate my peer support group for together for mental wellbeing I know I'm talking to and helping people with similar problems as mine and I know they are genuine and kind I suggest if there are any peer support groups nearby try them out..take care xx
I confront my fears so that I control them, not them controlling me
I have become excellent at projecting confidence when inside I feel scared and want to run away. I believe others are far too busy worrying about their own insecurities and bodily hang ups to worry about me. x🐱
@A MyDepressionTeam Member! I try to look at the bright side and be thankful for what I can do on an anxiety-ridden day.
On a good day I also confront my fears and it is hard but on a bad day I give in to them and stay in and try to chill with breathing exercises or meditation it helps..But I'm a little like I don't give in you just have to do whatever gets you through the day and be grateful x
I've not been diagnosed but I know I have depression and bad social anxiety with trust issues
My son suffers from social anxiety and does not go out of his room and he’s 18
