hi blue roses

i had anxiety and depression at the same time.. one seemed to feed the other.. i was anxious about a meeting and my mind went in circles about all the things that might be said and how i would respond.. made me very stiff socially for a while and i was often out of timing with the natural flow of conversations or not prepared for the questions and topics..

over time i gained more knowledge and was better able to respond, but for the longest time it caused me a heavy depression over feelings of inadequacy and ignorance...

it got better when i got older and after several years of working at it..
