View submission: People WITHOUT depression and anxiety, what is life like?
As long as “pushing it away” doesn’t mean not feeling your feelings and avoiding them. Because avoidance never works. It might work for a while... but you can’t keep it in forever.
I rarely get offended and don’t take life very seriously either. But I have also had my fair share of trauma (in my childhood and then the last two years have been absolute shit) and I want more than anything to be happy but I can’t “just decide to do it”. That’s not how depression works. I have tried and tried and tried to look at things positively and I am seeing two different types of therapists and on medication and am trying everything possible to pull myself out of this hole. But it’s just not as easy as deciding to be happy and doing it. I am trying to do it. But you can’t just flick a switch and end depression.
There's nothing here!
