Apparently my doc has got me pinned with anxiety and a depression disorder of some sort (I can't remember specifics) on top of a pre existing ADD/ADHD diagnosis, Iadmit to the add, and the anxiety, but I'm still not fully convinced I'm guilty of the depression stuff, anyway I'm told I need to do some work on affirmations and loving myself but it feels gross, I was wondering if there's a less touchy feel way to approach this! Thank you all in advance!

@Cook912

Welcome and nice to meet you πŸ’œπŸ’•

You are a person after my own heart 😁 I can't do sunshine and rainbows or anything fluffy, I'm more real and honest and direct, often quite blunt. I say it as it is. But positive affirmations don't need to be over the top. You could practice some like this :

I can get through anything I set my mind to.

I am strong.

I am real.

I am me.

Different things work for different people, find something that you are passionate about and spend time doing that, it will make you feel more yourself

Genuinely, good luck with everything πŸ₯°

@Cook912 yeah like Amanda said different things work for different people, it's about finding what helps you bestπŸ’–Β  hobbies can help alot because they give you things to be proud at yourself for, and great ways to express yourself πŸ’– making time to do the little things that makes you smileΒ  helps, for me it's sitting outside watching the sunrise 😁 any little moments that being you peace and joyπŸ’– you may benefit from venting, that's the beauty of 7 cups πŸ’— I hope you find ways of copingπŸ’–πŸ’– gives you a giant tiny hug πŸ’—
