Thank you all for your kind words. So many people feel that if they don't fight hard against the depression or anxiety, it will overtake them. I've found the opposite to be true. By accepting the state of mind and then finding ways to best cope with it day to day, a lot of energy is spared and can be used for more useful things. I am not referring to giving up, but of simply embracing that this is your reality and asking yourself how best to deal with it on any particular day and in any particular situation. It could be compared to driving somewhere only to find a tree across the road. What do you do? Sit there and do nothing? Turn around and go home? Or do you try to find a way around the tree so you can continue on your journey? I pick the third option wherein I can at least get to my destination albeit a little later than planned.
