@2me @ktcosmos I have been struggling with new anxiety… and my ‘old friend….”depression” has resurfaced, since I began caregiving for mother with dementia & it took over my entire life. (I’ve always been able to manage my moods with self care in the past)
However, due to sleep deprivation, etc., I’m falling into a hole. I don’t want to take meds, so trying to do some movement, creative writing and deep breathing. I think the social component is critical- having online communities helps and even better, if you have someone you can confide in. 🤗❤️Do reach out to your doctor or a therapist if you’re struggling. It’s important to take care of yourself first! I’m sending you my support and just letting you know you’re not alone on this journey.
