Acceptance is the first step in living healthily with anxiety and depression. Acknowledging that yes, I do have anxiety, depression, or both and asking yourself “How am I going to live my life with this?”. You have to accept before anything changes.
Acceptance can be done by, mindfulness, consulting with a therapist or a primary care physician, or talking to your friends. Whatever way works for you. I personally had a conversation with a friend, then visited my primary care physician.
Avoiding the topic only makes it worse. Acting as if it does not exist can lead into toxic traits. Some of these traits can look like irritability, anger, mood swings, negativity, and creating a negative environment for those around you. The best thing for you and those present in your life is to accept that this is going on and communicate effectively how this is impacting your life. Once you have accepted this, living with it becomes much easier. It no longer controls you, you control it.
