Mixed feelings while dealing with anxiety and low mood
Lately, I’ve been imagining what it might feel like to deal with anxiety and depression at the same time. There could be days when ordinary responsibilities feel overwhelming, while anxious thoughts make it difficult to rest. I might want to connect with people but also feel tempted to withdraw.
For anyone who has genuinely experienced mixed feelings like these, what kinds of everyday support or coping strategies have you found helpful?
