Depression and Anxiety

Nowadays, whenever I try writing in some kind of blog or journal . . . it's utter failure. In most cases I hate what I wrote and throw it away or in a blogs case: delete it. I know it has a lot to do with my denial about the ugly person that depression has created. It really doesn't help that my anxiety fuels it.

All I've wanted is to be content; to live freely without a care. I've always felt this void in my chest and heart, like something is missing, but I can't figure out what.

This is how I feel everyday of my life, especially now. I've even made extremely reckless decisions because of my anxiety thinking if I do this or that that it will improve my state of mind.

Starting another one of these just scares me. My head hurts just thinking about it.

Depression causes you to be

Depression causes you to be a prisoner of your own mind. Try getting out and simply observe the world around you with a child-like curiosity. Follow a bird flying across the sky or a squirrel in a tree. Notice the tree limbs swaying in the breeze (if there happens to be a breeze). Observe children playing. By simply observing the world non-judgementally, we can get out of our minds and into our lives. (That's actually the name of an ACT therapy workbook)
