I've been living with depression and anxiety for so long that it is my state of normal. I find cover from my feelings by working 12 hours a day and focusing as much as I can. When I lose focus is when depression resurfaces. I finally invested in my mental health in the last year, seeing a therapist and practicing CBT. This has been a breakthrough year for me, emotionally. I am thinking about quitting my work and working on something entrepreneurial related to mental health. I've found that the most important part of self-therapy is practicing what is learned, developing new mental habits that trigger as countermeasures to cognitive distortions. I feel like I'm a survivor of a emotional holocaust where people see an emaciated mind and don't understand the cause. |
