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?

Anhedonia
Cold, gray static
Emptiness
A matte fog of numbness
My saturnine world muted
Of color and sound
Food so tasteless
Appetizing as ash
Nothing moved me
Or brought pleasure
While peering over
The observation deck
Of everyone else
Around me
Seemingly so alive
Coils of apathy
Would squeeze me
In a suffocating embrace
And dangle me over
My personal abyss of
Bleak nothingness
