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?

I must be broken

I'm bipolar, I got diagnosed roughly twenty years ago. I tend to stay in the depression and anxiety side of things. My body ain't saying shit therefore I must be broken? I was at a time experiencing headaches worse than a pimple on Hades A$$ and have such severe anxiety that when I attempted to lay down my legs shook so bad it was like a mini earthquake in our bed. Since medication changes and removing most of my stress in happier than a rooster in a hen house. I'm not having a lot of headaches and I can relax and not cause mini earthquakes. So my body was in fact screaming at me to so something I was just to stubborn to realize what the source of my physical issues were and how to alleviate them. It's been trial and error with the medication but I do believe we finally found a good working formula. And I've completely changed my mindset and lifestyle as well as my eating habits. So maybe not broken and my body was fact saying "Get off your lazy A$$ and start doing something hooker.!"this is my inner dialouge, the pimp me trying to encourage me how to make that money because you always been more moola.
