Hello. Im new to the forum and was just checking it out. I struggle with anxiety and depression myself and often denial and distraction are the only ways to go that allow me to function. Health issues recently have torpedoed denying things and with the coronavirus lock down and restrictions many emotional doors that I wanted to stay closed have been torn open.
