The Anxiety Man

Each minute feels like an unbearable day; regular things become unmanageable obstacles; words aren't readily available for conversation; enjoyment isn't a thing. Depression is the greatest fight many of us will go through. Understand it is a real struggle. #MentalHealth

Seek professional help if you are struggling with anxiety/depression - it can and will get much worse. Don't wait. Do it now. Much love. #mentalhealth #SaturdayThoughts

"No matter how far out we look, the most far out thing we've found is right here between our ears." - One Strange Rock (documentary)

To all who haven't experienced depression: IT IS BLOODY DIFFICULT. #mentalhealth #truth

The ONE THING that made me optimistic in my lowest points of depression was hearing stories of those who got BETTER. Gravitate towards positivity. Fuel your mind with optimism when it can't create it. You WILL get control. #saturdaythoughts #love #mentalhealth

Exercise and meditation should be, in my opinion and from my experience, the root of any anxiety/depression recovery regime. Consistency is paramount in these great practices. Much love. #mentalhealth #SaturdayMorning

You may not get credit for battling depression/anxiety, but know that everyone who has been where you are now see's how strong you are.

I do not know exactly how you experience depression or anxiety. We all experience it differently. I can share insight gained from my experiences and describe in detail what it was like. That's what I wanted when I was low - someone who told me what it was like for them.

In my darkest hours, I'd read statistics about the percentage of people struggling with depression/anxiety. Strangely, it made me feel even worse. I simply couldnt imagine anyone feeling the way I did. I didn't believe there were so many others like me. #mentalhealth

Those of us who have had a glimpse into what it feels like to live with mental health, know how indescribably difficult it is. You are all an inspiration. You are important and you are loved.

Only in darkness do we gain access to the well of light within.

Anxiety is many things... including treatable. Never lose sight of this - no matter how awful you feel right now. There is a way. You will have clarity again. #WednesdayWisdom #Anxiety #mentalhealth

I cried hysterically throughout the day; lay in bed looking at the seconds go by on the clock praying the day would end so I could be released from the nightmare. The reality of depression is dark. It is indescribably difficult. Have empathy. #mentalhealth #TuesdayThoughts

It's fascinating how similar we all are when we start allowing others in. It's easy to find differences, it takes courage to see the many similarities.

We get absolutely encompassed in negativity when we are depressed. So much, that we fail to see how much strength it takes to get through each day. You are an incredible person. Courageous and persevering. You will get these symptoms under control. #mentalhealth #depression

Multiple episodes of depression/anxiety tore a hole in my mind; tested my strength and perseverance; crippled my ego and identity; disrupted everything I thought I knew. Most importantly - they woke me up and revealed a deeper, more empathetic side of myself. #Mentalhealth

Depression attacks the very things most of us have learned to take for granted: clarity, thinking patterns, thoughts, feelings, enjoyment, and the spark that makes us inspired to act.

Spotify knows my secret music taste when I'm feeling all weird; YouTube knows what I binge watch at 2 a.m; Google knows all my insecurities... I'm screwed. #mondaythoughts

Anxiety creates the worst possible thoughts; we fear them, and they breed into an all-consuming intrusive web. It is a nightmare. I know many of you can relate. Mindfulness meditation allowed me to start seeing the thoughts differently; as passing clouds. #mentalhealth

Everything we watch, listen to, and read about impacts how we think and feel. Are you feeding your brain inspirational, positive stimulus? #MentalHealthMatters #positive #SundayMorning
