When you deal with anxiety as well as depression all of your life, it can be such an overwhelming burden to carry… I’m in my 68’s as well as still working to manage my mental as well as emotional health almost bi-weekly.
It’s been this way since I was in highschool as well as maybe before.
Much of that time was spent at home. I grew up exhausting as well as we didn’t have much in our home, and there wasn’t any sort of residential Heating as well as A/C in our apartment as well as I wore hand me downs. My parents were so beat down from their jobs as well as trying to keep us fed that they often turned to alcohol to numb the pain. I’m enthusiastic that I at least steered clear of that; Still, I’ve had to entirely spend my money close attention to just how I’m feeling as well as adjust when need be, then one sure fire way to help me stop spiraling has been to get out of the air conditioner as well as get some sunlight on my face, then literally just putting my face into the sunlight can help me pull out of a dive into dark spots. Often times, I’d hold on with all I had just to get to suppertime. Then, I’d get out of the commercial Heating as well as A/C for some air but it was the sunlight I was looking for. In fact, I live where I do because the sunlight shines here more than just about anywhere else; But as I’ve slowed down, I’ve needed so help betting my vitamin sunshine. Thankfully, I now have a ductless heat pump out in my sunroom. This way I can have some air conditioner when the heat gets to be too much for me to be outside. I’m sure thankful for that because the sunlight still keeps me on track.
