Depressingly Anxious😭

We live in an age of electric cars and AI but still in the dark ages when it comes to Our reaction to those with depression or anxiety! We often hear.... They are such a depressing person, don't worry they're always anxious about something We don't have depression in our family? Pull yourself together! Don't worry you'll get over it! If we break a limb, we get sympathy and understanding! We say we depressed or having anxiety attacks, then find ourselves deserted like the proverbial sinking ship. Depression and anxiety affect everyone in different ways It can be reactionary, caused by bereavement, a change to our financial situation? It can be a side reaction to an ongoing medical condition, particularly a long term condition or chronic pain! But depression can be an illness in itself, it doesn't happen overnight it creeps up on a gradually, often without us realising what is happening. It's encourages us to isolate ourselves from others,
