Anxiety and Depression? What to Do When You're Struggling With Both
Years ago, I struggled with quite a bit of depression.
What I didn’t know at the time was that underneath that depression there was some anxiety lingering. I didn’t feel it as much because I was feeling so low and lethargic. I didn’t really have the gumption to get up and do much.
However, after educating myself and getting some professional help, I learned that sometimes there are similarities between anxiety and depression. Oftentimes, there is a link between the two.
Of course, this can be a lot to deal with - and it's really helpful to understand both conditions, so you can get the help you need…
Use These 10 Breathing Techniques to Beat Stress & More!
Stress is an all-too-real daily issue for many of us, so much so that some have even debated whether stress should be considered a health epidemic. And with technology, there’s no doubt that we probably are more stressed than ever before.
Think about it: At what other time in history have we had so much information and so much connection at our fingertips? Well, as far as we know, never.
And here’s the thing: A little bit of stress can be a good thing. It can help us adapt, get stronger, and become more resilient. But too much, and our mental and physical health both take a serious hit.
Thus, finding strategies to alleviate or reduce stress in your daily life is crucial for your own well-being and happiness…
One Positive Action
Imagine a better future:
Hope isn’t passive. It’s not wishful thinking or blind optimism. It’s a choice. A practice. And sometimes, it starts with something as simple as imagining a better future, not in some big, world-changing way, but in the quiet moments of our own lives. A morning where you wake up feeling rested. A conversation filled with laughter instead of tension. A community that shows up for each other. These small visions matter, because what we allow ourselves to imagine is what we begin to move toward.
Hope isn’t just an emotion, it’s the ability to believe in something better even when you don’t have proof yet. And that belief is powerful. It shapes your choices, actions, the way you show up in the world. When you picture a future that holds peace, kindness, or even just a little more ease, you give yourself permission to start building it.
You’re making space for what could be, even in the face of what is. Remember that no matter how overwhelming things feel, you are not powerless. You can choose to imagine something better. And when you do, you give yourself the courage to take one small step toward it.
So today, give yourself permission to imagine something good. Let your mind wander to a version of the future that feels a little lighter, a little more open. Whatever it is, hold onto it, not as a guarantee, but as a possibility. Because the futures we dare to picture are often the ones we find the courage to create.
