The Blahs

To be open, I struggle with depression and anxiety. I was a officially diagnosed 2 years ago but it's been an ongoing thing since I was 20. 

With depression comes blah days, as I like to put it. 
Blah days are when you aren't particularly feeling good or bad but you're not content either. You're anxious but unmotivated to do anything, not to mention zero energy. 

Since I started medication the days aren't as often, especially if I have work. But when I don't have obligations to be anywhere I'm like a sloth. Even social events I try to get out of. 
Could it be that my medication isn't working right?  
Any suggestions to get out of this funk?

Yeah mine seems to get worse at night too! It'll keep me up for hours sometimes. Usually to help with anxiety I find something on my phone to distract me, tiktok, webtoons, something that doesn't take a whole lot of concentration

anything that can distract my brain helps, so just working on anything, but it can be hard to want to work! it gets worse at night so I sleep with podcasts or music. and i’ve been getting ok at reminding myself it’s just my anxiety

how about you?

What's some of your go to ways to fight anxiety?
