Dealing With Anxiety and Depression - LOH #181

avatar

Hello, beautiful ladies, and happy new week to us all. Interesting questions, @joanstewart well donešŸ‘Œ

With everything happening in our society today, it's very easy for women to find themselves having these persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, and a loss of interest in activities.

Women go through a lot, ranging from family crises to work-related issues, hormonal imbalances, etc., which leads to these various feelings, and most times these feelings can be indicative of various mental health concerns, such as depression or anxiety disorders.

And I personally think when a woman starts feeling this way or having some symptoms related to this, it's best for her to immediately seek out help from different places, like seeking support from either a trusted friend(s), family members, or support groups, because at this point she will need all the emotional support and understanding she can get. I think that from experience and studies, it has been shown that talking about your feelings with others can provide validation in some way and also help alleviate feelings of loneliness or self-isolation.

Another way to fight these feelings is by challenging negative thoughts. I do this always, and it has really helped me a lot. I try as much as possible to replace negative thoughts with more positive, balanced, and realistic thoughts.

Stress has a way of making us feel worn out and exhausted about everything and everyone around us. So, as much as possible, I would advise ladies to limit stress in their lives. Try as much as possible to identify the sources of stress in your life and take steps to minimize or manage them. This might involve setting boundaries, delegating tasks when necessary, practicing time management, or seeking professional help for stressful situations.

I think women should always have the mindset that it's always okay to ask for help when in need, and prioritizing your mental health should be a must. I am very sure that with the right support, care, love, and treatment, overcoming the persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, and other symptoms is very much possible.

THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END šŸ¤—

I agree with talking about the way one feels with a trusted friend. Voicing out how we feel inside is therapeutic and can liven our mood once we are done. It is bottling up our feelings that strengthen those emotions, fuelling it to become more than what it is supposed to be .

Challenging negative thoughts as they arise is also another mental exercise that helps a lot.

Most turn to a sister or mother for guidance, if not available, always excellent to find what the problems are then seek out therapist assistance.

We cannot do it on our own, being able to self-assess try find what the underlying problem is, a listening ear is wonderful to overcome pointing out things we may miss in our own character.

With the many demands expected of a woman, depression and anxiety are inevitable. Duties, societal needs, work are causal factors to these influences. In all of that, sometimes sharing and talking it out also helps.

These are all great ways to deal with anxiety and stress! Do you have anything specific that seems to cause you persistent stress? Although not always possible, it's always ideal to be able to remove the underlying source of the stress as a way to prevent the stress from occurring in the first place. Adopting a different mindset towards problems also helps a lot, but this frankly takes a lot of practice and introspection.

If you ever need some support from some internet stranger, the FreeCompliments Community is always open to hear you out. šŸ˜Š
