Managing life.

At 23, having severe depression and anxiety isn't easy..its not easy for anyone. For me though, my physical symptoms are more prevalant than my mental symptoms most of the time. My doctor said its not uncommon for people with depression to feel aches and pains all over. I have gallbladder surgery on monday and I have decided to take a little time off work (I have a strenuous job that requires constant movement) and just do good things for me, like light exercise, good nutrition, hot baths, and yoga. Its bound to help with everything…I'm sure of it. Or at least I hope so. Keep me in your prayers. :)

Welcome to the forum!

You are on the right track taking care of yourself.

For long term mental health I suggest coping skills for daily emotional balance.

This link is to a great sight with lots of practical skills that can be used daily, with little practice. Many can be used with no one even knowing you are doing them.

Please check it out and see what you think.

We are here to listen and support, you are not alone.
