What’s one thing that helped you get through this week? I’ve been having bad anxiety lately and I’ve been thinking that maybe this is a way for me to help myself and others!Mar 15, 2021

tbh what really pulled me out of really bad days is just...texting / vidcalling my friends. oh and if possible, watch a movie/show with a friend!! I usually do that using discord's streaming function and it really does help especially if it's a wholesome slice of life

•Xenoblade Chronicles. That game just calms all my nerves and makes me forget anything that worries me irl

•My depression is mainly just overpowering my anxiety so I just binge watch my favorite series and movies. It's the only thing that gives me genuine joy rn. I failed 4 tests and I feel like a disappointment which usually gives me then anxiety so I just supress it.
If not then I'll just talk to my friend that will annoy me to the point of not feeling anxious anymore :// can't say it'll work for everyone but that's what helps me

•Similarly to lilaculpin, I'd recommend Video chatting or texting a friend, maybe play some game with them online? That usually destresses me a bit.
I also find that 'alone time' to just read or draw or exercise for an hour or two (without thinking about school/friends/my phone) helps me quite a bit

•My friend called me and we videochatted for a bit. We haven't been doing it for weeks and I really missed it

•I am right there with you. My anxiety has been absolutely through the roof. One thing that helps me is writing down all my thoughts before I go to bed. Get it all out, or even just write down what happened throughout the day. Has honestly made such a difference. Also there are some really good articles on how to use the Bible to cope with anxiety on jw.org
Hope this helped!
