One of mine was a voice that said, "Kill yourself". A lot of depression and anxiety come as reoccurring thought patterns that are often brutal, like a car that keeps backing up and slamming into the same wall (you). I found this exercise to be one of the most powerful things I've ever done if you're looking to break and change a thought pattern. I use it religiously all the time to help unpack the moods, emotions, struggles, dreams, and events of my life. I started my bullet journal solely with the intention of monitoring my mental health, and I wanted to share with you the techniques I found most helpful for battling anxiety and depression.īullet Journaling saved my brain and my life, and continues to be my North Star and daily companion that goes with me everywhere. It was one of the best things I ever did. I got home and spent the next 48 hours devouring Youtube and Pinterest and Buzzfeed to plan my life a new. It was around the same time a therapist friend of mind casually introduced Bullet Journaling to me, and sent me a Buzzfeed article on Bullet Journaling for mental health.
I realized, quickly, it was time to make new personal goals and throw out my old journals, because all my old aspirations were created with a tainted, depressed mind. The pills, thank goodness, worked, and then I started the new journey unto itself of rediscovering what life and this world was without the weight of depression. This year, in January, I got sober, which was the first step in helping me identify how bad my depression was and I finally got help and started anti-depressants. I lived age 18-28 with crippling depression and anxiety, most of the time spent not wanting to be alive. By Kyle Nicolaides of Beware Of Darkness:
