My biggest ones were Anxiety, Self-Esteem, and depression. Anxiety and self-esteem didn't surprise me. I've been dealing with those for along time by myself. (trying the self-help route) but depression?! I

Anxiety: When i start to get panic attacks if i can i'll wash my hands. Just to get my mind off whatever it was that made start to panic. If i can't wash my hands i close my eyes and breath deeply. Though i've found that doesn't work during severe attacks. Nonetheless i still close my eyes try to get my mind to wander or anything that'll get my mind off it. I picked up counting as a way. Like counting the celing tiles, the lights, whatever. That sometimes works.

Self-esteem: I have no idea! I tried doing that "you're pretty" thing. Just kept telling myself that over and over. Sadly there's this little voice in my head that keeps asking why i'm doing this because no matter how many times i say that it won't change the fact that i'm ugly. So no help there.....

Depression: Lately i've been feeling down yes, but that's human nature right? I've lost intrest in alot of things, including food. I use to eat a ton of food, now i'm happy with a pepsi. There are times when i want to just break down! Again no help in this catergory. I have no idea what to do to help me in this one. So....i'm still learning little tricks for my self help manual.

I'm finding it harder and harder to be myself though, like there's some big black cloud consuming me. I don't know what to do or how to cope with any of this!

....That was a good exercise! It felt good to get all that off my chest. I think you've given me another idea on how to cope so thanks. Really glad you posted this i enjoyed it. Thank you so much!
