Things I am thankful for today:
1. That we were busy at work today, so my shift went by quickly.
2. That I was able to see Mary Poppins Returns with Mom on Thursday.
3. That I had peppermint stick ice cream for dessert this evening.

What do I think my life would be like if I didn't have anxiety or depression?
I would be more outgoing and confident if I did not have anxiety and depression. My depression makes me want to keep to myself and feel like I am worthless and unloved. My anxiety tells me that annoy people and everything I do is wrong. I am a naturally outgoing person who wants to express herself and communicate with people but my non-verbal learning disability makes it difficult for me to pick up on social cues. So I try to avoid embarrassment by keeping to myself, lest I commit some faux-pas. My depression gives me low self-esteem. My anxiety makes it difficult to interact with people and fear their disapproval. This difficulty with interacting with people makes me lonely, which feeds into my depression.
