I fear spiraling

@powerfulBalloon7146

So I've been dealing with depression and after a long time of doing nothing, today I decided to make some life changes but I'm feeling anxious backseat what if it all blows up in my face and I just spiral into a darker place..?

I can empathize with you regarding both anxiety and depression; in my own personal experience, they have often felt like two sides of the same coin--at times feeding into each other.

I do want to congratulate you on taking that step to make those life changes; again, I know how hard it can be to get started on literally anything when it comes to depression.

I say the following carefully, as I know I am not you. But it would make sense to me that the anxiety is hitting you after a long time of being idle. Again, in my experience, the "what-if" scenarios I play in my head (and the associated anxieties) tend to me much worse than whatever the actual event turns out to be.

Your feelings are valid, and again, I am proud of you for taking action in the face of your depression. And with the anxiety, please know that we have empathetic members and listeners (as well as therapists) here on 7 cups that can all be a part of your support system as you move forward. :)
