I’ve got a membership only blanket fort.... want to climb in and be a exclusive member?? Blanket forts can help make things better for a moment 🥰

Hang in there. This is a tough time for all of us!

You and me both man.

It’s a lot right now, with or without clinical depression, all of us are being challenged right now. Take care of yourself, good job reaching out, breathe... we gotta try to get through this thing. We all need each other too much to give up now!

Big mood 🥺

LYRA!! It’s so freaking helpful

Brooooo saaaaaaammmeee.
My ASM swears by Headspace and keeps mentioning Lyra to me. Maybe they will be helpful for you. Otherwise, it seems to me that there are plenty of strangers here, including myself, that are willing to listen and talk.

Big same.

Hey friend. I’m here if you need to talk. ❤️

Hi everyone! I have clinical depression and anxiety and here is my advice.
-Find a therapist, it sounds simple but it's much harder and that's tough to wrap your head around. You want to feel better right away but there's a lot of factors to it. You'll have to "shop" for a therapist (that's how my grandma put it lol). -Find a therapist or psychologist/psychiatrist who can help you find a medicine to help. My therapy office has a RN or a nurse practitioner who can prescribe medicine, I have 30 minute sessions with her and we discuss whats working and what's not. That's another hard thing- your body will react weirdly to different medicines so just be patient.
-find a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist - this type of therapist can offer advice whereas other therapists really can only listen. I got fed up with one of my therapists and was like "can't you give me any ideas of what to do!" And he said "I can't really my job is to listen". Well I can talk to walls so I asked my trusted nurse there and she said CBT was the way to go, so I did and I've never looked back (that's CBT not CBD although that could be helpful for anxiety :O )

Reward yourself after work. A good reward - like a walk outside or a small nap in the sun or a small semi-healthy treat. Treat yo self during the day - you deserve it. And be patient with yourself.

If you need anything please reach out, to someone you trust OR the Internet because we will do our best by you. We are partners, after all ;)

Same and I feel like no one cares since I "got better" 🙃

this didn’t age well— a few hours after this post my car was wrecked

Me too, but I’m here for you!!

You’re worthy and you’re enough - sometimes I need to tell myself that in the morning. Sending you good vibes ☕️

Someone already said it but I can’t emphasize Lyra enough. 20 FREE therapy sessions. Tomorrow is my fourth one and my therapist is awesome. All over video conference.
