Taking time off work
Hi everyone. I decided to take a leave of absence from work because my mental health is really bad right now. My anxiety and depression are very bad especially my anxiety. It almost feels like my soul was ripped out and replaced with anxiety instead if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I have some plans for what to do on my time off but would like more ideas. I'd like ideas to help me heal during this time. I already have plans to see a doctor so please don't say that. 😊 I'm looking for other things right now that don't have to do with a doctor or medicine.
Ideas so far...
Get outside
Meditate
Read bible
Read a book
Listen to music
Go to my happy places (libraries or bookstores)
What other ideas do you have?
Thanks 😊

Hey @BorahaeAndHappiness. I am really happy that your'e priortizing your mentail health. I wish that your small vacations may be filled with lot of happiness.
Also I understand dealing with severe anxiety is not an easy thing. As your'e already getting tips like meditation and reading a book so I would recommend you to write. Write what you feel or maybe record yourself saying it if you don't feel like writing.

Making time for yourself and your mental health takes a lot of courage and is a big step towards healing. (:
