I Battle Depression and Anxiety

I battle depression and anxiety. Let me say that again, I BATTLE depression and anxiety.
I battle it with self-care.
... by allowing myself to be loved,
... by telling the voices they are wrong,
... every night while I lie wide-awake for hours,
... every day that I can't get myself out of bed.
I battle it by reminding myself I am not alone.
... by allowing myself to make mistakes and trying again.
... by helping other.
... by not staying silent.
... by seeking help.
And if you are too, we can battle them together ❣

How do you stop the voices? I think that's the hardest part :(

It is. I don't always win but I have to sorta outwit the voices. For example, if the voices say "you are worthless and unloved" I think of the people around me that have shown the opposite. Or if they say "you will fail, you are stupid" then I think of past successes. It is a very up and down process for me. They say many things. It may sound silly but I sometimes even respond out loud. I write and paint. My voices can make me depressed or anxious and I deal with both very differently. If you want you can message me and I can give you ideas.
