Those of us who live with anxiety and/or depression know that hugs can sometimes make us feel like weeping. We’re not losing our minds. It’s a feeling of alone. Those of us who are living in one day at a time recovery know this feeling. I have heard it described as being in a small room with a hundred people and still feeling all alone. The rooms of recovery have taught me that we are not alone. But there are times we still feel that way. Reoccurring anxiety and/or depression can reintroduce us to feelings of alone. If this is an emergency, or if it becomes an emergency, we call 911 or our local crisis line immediately. The alone I am talking about is an alone most people can feel. Those of us who have been in recovery for a while know this and we know that we are not alone. Anxiety and/or depression are no joke. Many people turn to professional medical help. You will be heard and being heard is important. Many of us have turned to support groups for help and live life one day at a time which means reach out for help and be well today.
