What is your body telling you?
My therapist said that depression and anxiety are not just mental, but physical illnesses that we experience in our body. However, unlike a broken arm or the flu, we don't stop and take the time to treat them, because it can be hard to pinpoint what your body is telling you.
"Depression is your body saying F*** you, I don't want to be this character anymore. I don't want to hold up this avatar that you've created in the world. It's too much for me. " - Jim Carrey.
If you've experienced depression, anxiety, or both, what was your body telling you?
Nothing
Panicked eyes
an averted glance
an awkward touch
an off key melody .. vertigo
a bitter acrid smell
a painted sympathetic smile
a need to escape
the unexpected truth
laughing at me
don't believe what you think
don't believe what you think
