So a thought occurred to me. I've read that anxiety and depression are not uncommon, and that the majority of people will go through it at least once in their lifetimes. If you think about it, it's really not that hard to believe considering our life expectancies are just getting longer. I digress - my idea was to actually make a note of the things that have helped me out.
Funnily enough the things that have helped me out the most have been reading other people's experiences and things that had helped them out. So here are 2 blog posts which have really resonated with me in the past..

I just reread through the 2nd one again
"...trying to use willpower to overcome the apathetic sort of sadness that accompanies depression is like a person with no arms trying to punch themselves until their hands grow back"
I joke about it, but I've really been struggling lately (it's been well over a month now). Time to stop being so stubborn and actually get some help I think.
