It seems like my old self is gone and I miss the old me. I had some depression and anxiety in the past, but it was minor. But I've had a lot of
health anxiety and gloomy feelings that I never had before. There are times when I feel like I can drive other people nuts about it.
It feels intimidating to hear that depression can lower our immune system. I wish that were not true, but that's what I've heard.
