The fifth is to reduce the time spent with people who only bring you stress. It's like volunteer work where sometimes we just collect friendships or people in our lives and we forget to call and let go of relationships that no longer serve us or them. So take a good look at this and just make the changes you need and reduce the time spent with the people who stress you out.

1050: Classic ACP stress, anxiety and depression in the face of uncertainty

In today's episode, Gina discusses anxiety and depression in the context of the uncertainty-induced stress we all face in today's world. Symptoms of anxiety and depression are discussed and compared. Techniques to improve these conditions in the face of the uncertainty of the COVID-19 outbreak are shared.

In this episode, I, Gina Ryan, address the topic of anxiety and depression in the current landscape of uncertainty we are all facing globally. The takeaway is that it's natural for life to be uncertain, and accepting this fact can alleviate the need for control, leading to a lighter mental state. Anxiety and depression have become more prevalent due to increased uncertainty, and many are experiencing these feelings, making it important to understand the differences between the two.

Anxiety is characterized by apprehension about the future, worried thoughts, and a desire to avoid triggering situations. On the other hand, depression manifests itself as sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of confidence in positive outcomes. It is crucial to recognize these symptoms of thinking in ourselves and those around us. Physical symptoms differ between anxiety and depression, with anxiety often presenting as a fight-or-flight response, while depression can lead to severe lack of energy, changes in appetite, and trouble sleeping. .

Additionally, there may be an intersection of symptoms between anxiety and depression, which can worsen if left unchecked. Seeking help and support for increased anxiety or depression is crucial, as both conditions can be treated with the right approach and commitment to improve mental health. It is essential to not feel shame or embarrassment when asking for help and to understand that the path to overcoming these challenges may have ups and downs, requiring patience and self-compassion . Together we can overcome these difficult emotions and work towards a healthier mental state. Remember, depression lies; it tells you that you've always felt this way and always will, but it's not the truth. Stay strong, be patient with yourself, and know that with time and effort, improvements are possible.
