When anxiety and depression decide to merge and come at me in unison it’s like my body is being moved in two different directions.

On the one hand my body is heavy and sluggish; on the other it’s whizzing around and unravelling because of the pressure I’ve put on myself to get it together, be normal and just get on with things.
