At least, we get to be honest here! With family, friends and work, I find myself constantly pretending I'm okay when I'm not. It drains all my energy.

Depression is a vicious cycle. It's very hard to snap out of it. I have coping mechanism but let's face it, there are days, where my coping skills are useless.

For example, I'll try meditating but I can't calm my mind.

So now that I've fallen, I keep asking myself how on earth do I get myself back up. But the stress/anxiety/fatigue just keeps that vicious cycle going...
