I’m thrilled #HowIFightDepression is trending. I’ve been diagnosed with severe anxiety and severe depression. I’m on meds,seeing a therapist & doing my homework. There’s hope for EVERYONE. Please read this thread even if it is your family member or friend living with depression.
#HowIFightDepression 1. ADMIT IT; It’s ok. It is your body trying to deal with something just like fever fights infection. And once you share it with others...it’ll blow you away how many others have it too.
2. ALLOW IT; Ever try to suppress a sneeze? How’d that work out?Allow the feelings,don’t suppress them.Sit back & examine the feelings and the thoughts. Don’t let ‘em scare you. I find it helps if I share with someone that I am having anxiety as it happens #HowIFightDepression
Here is my number one recommendation for #HowIFightDepression, and I am 100% not joking: log off of Twitter. Off of Facebook. All social media. The internet altogether. Go outside. Go to a park and play with some doggos, or toss a ball to a kid.
It centers your perspective.
It centers your perspective.
Technology is a barbiturate. You sometimes feel like it's a stimulant -- believe me, I know -- but over the long run it's an opiate rather than anything that truly invigorates. Cut the cord and spend time with real people and things instead. You'll feel better.
And if you don't have ppl in your life (sadly true for so many) you don't have to fall back on cheap passive technological entertainment. Learn a musical instrument. Read a book. Take up a craft or a hobby. Escape from this ever-constricting straitjacket. BE, in the real world.
So yesterday we may have saved a life in the local community pharmacy yesterday.

It was an extremely busy afternoon in the normally quiet pharmacy. I was checking nomad trays in the back breaking off every 5 minutes to check waiting prescriptions.
Whilst in the checking room, my counter assistant approached me asking if I could see this patient as she was a little unsure as to what to do. The patient had mentioned to her that they had been suffering from anxiety and wished to buy something for it.
