RE: My powerkit for living with depression & anxiety- Part 1
I get into a vicious circle where I isolate myself, which causes me to feel less able to be social, and as I'm less active, the endorphins aren't buzzing around in the brain. What helps me is to force myself to go out and socialise. At first it seems like a mammoth task, then by the time I get home I'm feeling much, much, better.
You put my exact feelings into words. This is exactly how I work too. It's a very hard snowball of a road, but like you explained, once you summon up enough energy and courage to get out there, even if it's just a trip to the store, you start to feel normal again.
