I'm sorry to hear of your struggles. I understand the feelings of wanting to isolate and push others away. Are you taking medications for your anxiety and depression? If so, are you being consistent? Maybe try to include a trusted friend or family in your coping skills. Journaling has helped me in the past too. Hang in there!

I know I do better when I keep a gratitude journal. I am such a procrastinator that I do not keep it up. Due to major stressors at this time I need to have my anxiety meds refilled. I ran out and did not notice.

Thus was me last week. Know that there is an end to it and you can get there.

Sometimes when I'm pushing people away I find an activity that I can enjoy with them. Usually a self care something that I can do in pairs or groups. 💕hope this helps.

I know what it feels like to be depressed, and sometimes it’s better to be around friends and family, cause in the long run they’ll make you feel better.

I found this book online called 'The Hero's Journal' that I am using to try to stay motivated during the process of selling my property and buying a newer home without the huge yard and a laundry list of necessary repairs. Nearly done with the selling and purchasing; I'm sorting, donating, and packing non-essentials for the move in 6 wks. I've lived here over 33 yrs, buried a child and spouse, raised 12 kids, and inherited hoards from both sides of my family. It's a lot!
