Having anxiety and/or depression can be really hard on a person. Believe me I know.
Everybody always talks about what you should do if you are having “one of those days”. Here is a list of what I believe everybody should do if they are having “one of those days” that everybody always talks about
1. Take a walk.
2. Excercise (Exercising and taking a walk are different).
3. Listen to music.
4. Call a friend.
5. Talk to a friend in person.
6. Re-arrange your living room.
7. Go out to eat at your favorite restaurant.
8. Don't let anybody tell you to “calm down” if you don't feel ready yet.
9. Watch Netflix.
10. Take Medicne.
Do not let anybody tell you that taking pills is stupid and they do not help. If you feel you need them for help, then take them. There is nothing to be ashamed of with medication because sometimes just taking a walk or talking to someone will not help.
The most important advice that I can ever give to a person who is dealing with anxiety and depression is to not let anybody get into your head. I know that is easier said than done. Many times, people will think that they are helping you by saying “calm down” or something along that lines because they do not actually understand that it is not easy to "just calm down".
If doing these things doesn’t help at all, get help. People are always afraid to go seek professional help because they don’t want their family or friends to find out. If your friends or family want to judge you because you are trying to get help, then that is their problem and not yours.
Stay Strong.
