It's time to face the harsh reality. You're getting old. Things will never be the same. That means it's time to take care of yourself. Allow me to help.
In addition to therapy and psychiatry which I do recommend, here are some coping mechanisms and tools I personally use to help take care of myself the best I can. Remember that progress is often not linear, and a bad day or even long rough patch doesn't negate all of the achievements you've made. You can still be on an upward trend even with those dips. Only expect that you do your best each day- you can't expect more than your best from yourself, and your best can vary dramatically day to day. If your best today was getting out of bed and eating food, but you did it, that's a win. Much love to all of you out there, and I hope these recommendations help. <3
