@dess no prob pal, eating well will help I work as a personal trainer, try eat lots of veg and lean meats some carbs are fine as they give you energy. Exercise is a must if you can, even just a brisk 20min walk can help. Just try your best not interfere with your thoughts as hard as it is. Just carry on your day as you normally would. I have to to really force myself to get out of bed in the mornings and but when I do I try keep busy. The more you do this the better you will feel.

Check your diet. Start exercise , especially leg exercise. Nothing too heavy just work towards something. Stay away from carbs and sugar.

Hang in there buddy, I have depression anxiety and ocd too, and it’s been very bad lately. I know exactly what you mean by not being able to do anything, every time you start a task your mind wanders off. Do your best to carry on with your daily tasks, force yourself out of bed and go for a walk. Medication will tend to make you feel anxious at first but try stick to it and your body will adjust. Try not to isolate yourself, carry on as you would do if you didn’t have these problems, get therapy if you can, and I promise you will slowly drift out of this phase. Iv been dealing with it for 8-10 yrs now.

You can really fix a lot of that with lifestyle changes. Not saying you can cure depression or anxiety or ocd because god knows it’s a struggle for me. You can learn tools though. “Dirty carbs” mixed with a screen to look at is like poison to our minds and body. Remember most of our seratonine comes from our gut.

I know I wish our fda wasn't so messed up. It's expensive to eat healthy in America and half the stuff on the shelves is so bad for you

I’m taking vyvanse and lexapro...thinking of switching😢 the lexapro made a dizzy...didn’t help with ocd. Ocd is a little worse with just vyvanse but I can deal with it...but I’d like to have a different med combo .seeing my psychiatrist in 2 weeks to see what I can do
