I live with anxiety and depression; they’re a part of who I am, how I function, and how I process things. There’s no way for me to separate them from my life and work, which in and of itself is a reality that I do struggle with. I have good days and bad days with accepting their presence in my life and adjusting to it. With work, my anxiety makes me very high functioning, which is not the most horrible thing, but also isn’t the best because it makes it harder for me to notice when things aren’t going well or when I need a break. With life, it means that in certain situations where some can just jump, I need a bridge. I have to practice a lot of grace in my personal life to remind myself that it’s okay if it takes me a bit longer to talk away my fears.
