Need advice on how to get through anxiety and depression: Hey guys, I went through a physical chronic-pain related flair-up recently and it triggered a depressive/anxious episode. Today and yesterday, I’ve been in a homeostasis of panic, unable to sleep soundly without waking up, legs shaking and heart racing, the whole deal. I’m struggling to get my mind off the whole thing. I feel best when I’m distracted, but when I’m done distracting, the fear returns. Everyone says “accept your fear,” but I don’t know what that looks like. What I need to know, is how do you guys get through these episodes? How do you practice acceptance? And how do you stay brave even though you’re scared things won’t change? Thanks, I need to know I’m not alone.
