Hey guys, it's my first time here, just looking to reach out and maybe get some decent practical advice!
I'm having real issues with both depression and anxiety lately - and getting out of the house (or bed) has been really hard. For me this means I've been 'getting ready' by compulsively picking at my skin for hours every day... 😞 As you can imagine this doesn't make me look or feel any better. Yesterday I cut the top of my ear several times coz I really REALLY wanted to get a lump out...
Yeah, I don't get anything done, I'm not leaving the house, and I have three gorgeous foster dogs I'm not working with as much as I should be. On top of this I've recently managed to alienate a lot of my friends, including the person I still see as the love of my life but doesn't reciprocate these feelings - my own little fantasy bubble I'd been planning my future around ...POP! (STUPID!!) And all I want to do is drink.... 😞
I would just go out and party every night (making AAAALLL of the bad decisions) but I look freaking hideous so I've just been getting secret drunk at home, pretending I have the flu....
Sorry, I meant just to ask if anyone has any advice about how to work around anxious/compulsive behaviours and get shit done still...?
