I finally did something for me to help this major depression and anxiety I’m going through. I decided to go to a peer run respite for 5 days. It is really going to be beneficial I believe. I just honestly needed a break or I know I would have ended up in the hospital or something.
That is wonderful! I find retreats to be so helpful. I attended a one day retreat last Saturday and even though one day it was very rejuvenating! Enjoy 5 days! I am jealous! Keep us posted!
Miranda, I hope the 5 day peer run respite helps. I don’t know exactly what the depression and anxiety feels like to to you, but I suffer from bouts of it myself. It can be most debilitating. I am glad you are paying attention to what you need and taking care of yourself. I would like to hear about the respite when you return. Take care and remember your loving essence. <3
I’m so glad you listened to what you needed, looked for the support and are going to the respite Miranda. Way to go dear! Though we all experience depression and anxiety differently, I have been there too. That’s why I have a daily practice so that I can stay proactive about my anxiety. I notice when I’m not eating as well, exercising or doing exercises for my mind that I can start to experience negative thinking and anxiety. We are here for you and want to know how you are doing so keep us posted.
This experience has been great. The staff are absolutely amazing!! Just being able to escape reality and relax was a so much better option than what I wanted to do which was escape life. I’m so glad I came. They have reminded me to use healthy coping skills I threw out the window a while ago. I have even been meditating again. If it wasn’t for my cat who I miss like crazy I wouldn’t want to go home tomorrow. Best choice I’ve made in a long time.
Good for you for taking care of yourself! Hope you get some relief!
Glad to hear that this helped you out! It is nice to refocus and have some help every now and then!
