Panic in water

...See more So a couple weeks ago I went swimming with my brother and hes a very strong swimmer and a lifeguard. He wanted to go swimming where there was no lifeguards and I thought it would be OK and relaxing but I didn't anticipate how heavy the water felt. I'm clostrophobic so I felt like I was being crushed by the water and my head felt like it was sinking. I'm not scared by water and I've done lifeguard training courses so I'm pretty used to swimming in tough places but something about the huge expanse of water caused panic in me. I started hyperventilating without realising and to this day anytime I think about it or swimming I panic. How do I deal with this? And has anyone had any similar situations?

...See more Anyone else in a state of limbo in terms of their depression? Like I feel depressed but I'm not as bad as I used to be. My appetite is up and down, I sleep way too much, I'm always exhausted, I'm never motivated. Like I'm depressed but it doesn't feel as dark as it did? Does that make sense?

...See more For almost 3 years now I've been dealing with the crashing depression that comes with social anxiety. With quarantine and losing all the things that made me happy I've found myself stuck in the same spot I was 3 years ago. It took me a year and a half to finally be free of my depression but now I feel like I'm being pulled back. My school has been taken away and I will rarely see any of my friends this year. However I'm choosing to use this opurtunity and hope by me sharing, I might inspire others to do the same. Take this year as an opportunity to do all the things you thought you couldn't. Play an instrument, start an Etsy, learn how to draw and bake! At the start of quarantine I made a list of what I wanted to accomplish and have thankfully finished over half. I think the best way to deal with depression is to find your anchor, for me it was music. Not just listening but playing and many days I'll play guitar until my fingers blistered. But not just doing the hobbies, but finding the community within those hobbies, the people who can relate to you and the friends you can make! When one door closes, open another
