I've been away for awhile but really need to talk to some people who might be going through something similar as me. I don't get to see my psych until May 6th and can't start therapy until May 20th so in the meantime, I'm hoping to get some suggestions for coping.

I've fallen into a deep depression caused by my anxiety, I'm pretty sure. I've pinpointed the reason and I think it's because of death.

Four people I knew, one of which I was pretty close to, passed away within this past year. Four people. I've never had anyone die before so four at one time is... I don't even know what to say.

But this brought forth the realization that I'm not going to live forever and even writing this is about to send me into a panic so I'm going to leave this brief.

Those of you who have dealt with this or are dealing with this - how do you cope? How do you overcome the intense feeling of depression and anxiety over something like this?

Thank you.
