I am not depressed

I realized that while getting dressed. That's the good news.

Of course there is a but, ...

My anxiety is out of control. It was a little confusing at first because I only have one set of coping skills so I use them to protect me from everything. So at first glance, because I used them against the depression which superseded everything for so long, I associated them with the depression and assumed  was depressed.

I'm not sure how to deal with this. The depression blocked out so much that there are issues and symptoms and diseases below there that I never new existed. It is like peeling of the hard shell of an avocado, which is part you don't want, only to discover it is all brown inside.
