I have been in the midst of a pretty difficult setback with my mental health and I just need all the advice on how to stay positive. What do you fill your life with in order to find meaning and maintain a positive mindset? What kind of books do you read, movies do you watch, hobbies do you do? Just tell me anything that helps you! 💚
I have struggled with depression, anxiety, phobias, existential OCD, and suicidal thoughts for most of my life, but the last few weeks have felt like a new extreme. I can still function and go to work, but I am genuinely afraid of this level of hopelessness and the constant feeling of anxiety in my body.
Before this recent phase I was doing so much better mentally, so hopefully I can improve again. But I just feel so anxious about the state of the world, and I’m really struggling to find any meaning or happiness.
What are your best tips for anxiety and depression? What can I do to improve my mindset? What kind of books should I read? What should I fill my life with?
I already journal, stay active, and get outside, but that’s just not enough.
