No one seems to understand what you’re going through.
“Just put it out of your mind, and get over it,” your friends suggest.
Of course, that’s easy for them to say. They’re not the ones who feel like the pressure from this anxiety and depression will overwhelm them at any moment.
You feel like you might be going ‘crazy’ (whatever that means,) and don’t know how to cope.
Your baseline level of anxiety is higher than ever before.
Even when you’re not dealing with acute panic, the unease is always present.
There are lots of contributing factors. The fear and isolation of the pandemic certainly made things worse, since you were certain you or a loved one would meet some tragic fate.
And it feels like only a matter of time before you inevitably fail, are rejected, or are forced to grapple with some sort of devastating catastrophe.
Depression creeps in and casts a dark shadow over your life.
It’s two sides of the same coin; anxiety on one side and depression on the other. It’s hard to tell which is worse.
You frequently feel detached from life. As though you’re numb to the world around you, an empty shell of who you once were. You’ve lost the capacity to experience pleasure. You sleep and eat either far too much or too little.
When you think about the future, it’s difficult to feel anything but despair. It seems bleak and grey. You can’t imagine this thick, oppressive fog ever lifting.
