When Just Being Feels Like Too Much
Part 2 of 4 in a Short Series of Living with Anxiety & Depression “C’mon, Weinand, smile! It’s Friday - what’s there to be so serious about?!” “Can’t you just be more positive?” “Ummm….are you okay?” “What’s got you down? It can’t be that bad.” These questions from well-intentioned friends, colleagues, and family members ring in my brain like an interrogation. In my heart, I know they are trying to just make me smile, to encourage me to have a good day, to really just relax.
