The Day I Realized I Wasn’t Just “Overthinking” Everything

I used to brush off my constant worrying as just my personality. But when anxiety started affecting my sleep, focus, and everyday decisions, I realized it was something I needed to take seriously.Depression was harder because it didn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it was feeling disconnected, unmotivated, and exhausted without knowing why.Learning about different mental health support options, including resources like My ESA Therapist, helped me understand that seeking help is a personal journey.Has anyone else mistaken their anxiety or depression for just being “stressed”? What made you realize you needed support?
