When anxiety smacks me in the head its largely due to workplace issues. It feels so silly getting worked up over certain things, reacting to them when (in some) cases it was not worth reacting in that way.

I get it, I get so upset over the silliest things ever.

At work in Perth I felt like I was doing so badly and told the supervisor. Then the next day she watched me for 5 minutes and said you are doing fine. And to never ever doubt myself.

She sent the regional supervisor to see me and she said something nice to me in that I'm only getting upset because I actually care so much and give a shit.

Yeah I have had the same speech from the managers I've had over the years. I've always had high praise and everyone's like dudeeeeee you need to relax!!

I can do the work blindfolded I just get bogged down with everything. I can multitask with warning, but if they aren't quick tasks. It throws me out of whack in regards of getting my main things done.
 
A few things that helped me pull myself up and out of depression and anxiety and a few rules I live by:

Always:

1) Always keep a diary and log your days. Everyday. Give yourself tasks to do throughout the day.
2) Always own the circumstances that have brought you to this point and time in your life.
3) Take time to give back, but never draw attention to it.
4) Always read a book before going to bed.
5) Always take time to meditate or pray to your respective deity.

Never:

1) Never, ever use social media. Ever. Never use it.
2) Never seek revenge. Always live a good life and look on the bright side of life.
3) Never lie. Always tell the truth.
4) Never chase after anyone. Except family or very close friends.
5) Never be a victim, always own the circumstances and take responsibility for your mistakes.

I ditched Facebook two weeks ago and haven’t looked back. It was definitely given me a lot of anxiety and stress as it is very negative and toxic. My wife keeps me updated on anything important but for the most part I haven’t missed it as I was mainly keeping an eye on community groups which was doing my head in.
I still have instagram but I don’t communicate on that and it doesn’t cause me problems. It’s honestly made a huge improvement in my mental health getting rid of Facebook. Now to work on exercise.
 
I won't ditch FB because it is a useful contact method for just a handful of people and a local town group (that is actually good full of people helping each other.) But I actually barely really 'use' the site in general if that makes any sense so it's not a problem. Would check it like maybe 4 times a week for 5 minutes.

My wife has a very high profile position in our region so I was constantly on community groups calling out lies and misinformation, the voice vote was also causing anxiety with many friends having completely different views which is fine if your view is based on real information, removing myself has probably saved me from ruining friendships.

Yeah I will never ditched FB.

I've "ditched" alot of ppl I could not care less about seeing what their lives are like on it. And use it for keeping in contact with friends who live overseas. It would be very detrimental if I got rid of FB and therefore lost this.

No one uses email these days..

Or you keep your mood up till the sun comes up.
I don't post on this website much anymore but I get seasonal disorder and how when things should be great they're bad.
And frankly depression in general which has become a political football and I don't understand myself.
20 mins sun a day is what I'm going next 3 weeks for than summer

I think I probably need medication for anxiety and ocd but all the permanent ones simply breed apathy.

Like once I was so happy about an investment that made me a heap of money I was in the front yard jumping around so excited and happy with excitement punching the air. Would losing an extremely amusing moment that you remember forever be worth losing 10 opposite lows?

I'd say no. Even when things are going s**t I find that very funny and what life is all about.

It's more than about money, that’s almost just a way of just keeping score. It's a favourite hobby of mine, I find markets fascinating and in the rare instances I get depressed is the only time I ever lose interest in it.

I’ve been struggling a bit since RUOk day, I’ve mentioned elsewhere my dislike of this day. Still waiting for a real life friend to reach out to me, people are all talk, ruok has made me feel more alone than ever when you realise you don’t have anyone in your life that gives a shit about you. The battle is ****ing real ☹️.
