Yes, I frequently feel depression and anxiety have so entangled my life that they comprise the whole of me. I know it's far more complicated, but that's the way it feels.
In my mind I can imagine taking risks, but my conditions and lack of energy get in the way. Every once in a while, unanticipated, I manage to do something. I have not mastered a way to get those times to appear regularly.
