In my experience, writing about I am going through shit is very therapeutic. I guess you’re on the way to heal and feel calm and ease again. One of my favorite author Elizabeth Gilbert said that anxiety looks like now global disease while she was giving interview. That was huge relief moment as well. Because I am not alone, I am not only person who is feeling this. Sometimes, I notice I am about to have panic attack especially before giving public speech or something. And then, I told myself no one gives you that much attention and people mostly focus on themselves or phone. So, it’s alright event if you make mistake. That’s helpful.
For depression, it’s hard to deal alone. For me, some tricks help me to prevent having panic attack such as breathing and not caring other people. But depression was hard. I had depression after giving birth. So, it’s postpartum depression. I don’t remember much about that period. But I am way sure that I need to be hospitalized. That was hard. Fortunately, friends and sisters help me to get through it. Also, the most important person who helps me to overcome that depression is my daughter. I was even thinking about suicide (without apparent reason). Everything was okay outside. Hmm. But anyway, I overcame here.
I understand you. I listen you. I care you.
Don’t give up.
It’s a disease, which mean it can be treated, eliminated or at least reduced the frequency of symptoms.
Good luck!
After all, you’re the only person who is responsible for how your life gonna be.
