Hello, blog friends, here I am again participating in this wonderful community's contest, which you can find here:

This week's theme is leaving comfort behind, and I want to talk about it from the perspective of someone who has, unfortunately, suffered from anxiety and depression for several years now. When I wasn't suffering from it, I loved getting out of my comfort zone, traveling, experiencing things, etc. In fact, there was a positive period when I was always seeking out new things. Unfortunately, as a young girl, I probably already suffered from some disorders because I was confined to my home for long periods and had a lot of difficulty facing new things and challenges. Since I've been suffering from depression and anxiety, my comfort zone has been a challenge for me. First, because I often don't feel in any comfort zone. When I have periods of high anxiety, I have panic attacks frequently and everywhere, so much so that I'm constantly on edge and never feel safe. How can I possibly feel safe if my own brain is the enemy? However, during periods of severe depression, I create a cocoon, a comfort zone, shutting myself in at home and fearing new experiences because they make me anxious. Yes, anxiety and depression together are a terrible and unpleasant combination.

Hola, amigos del blog, aqu铆 estoy de nuevo participando en el maravilloso concurso de esta comunidad, que pueden encontrar aqu铆: https:

El tema de esta semana es dejar atr谩s la comodidad, y quiero hablar de ello desde la perspectiva de alguien que, lamentablemente, ha sufrido ansiedad y depresi贸n durante varios a帽os. Cuando no lo sufr铆a, me encantaba salir de mi zona de confort, viajar, experimentar cosas, etc. De hecho, tuve una 茅poca positiva en la que siempre buscaba cosas nuevas. Lamentablemente, de joven, probablemente ya sufr铆a de algunos trastornos por estar confinada en casa durante largos periodos y tener muchas dificultades para afrontar nuevas cosas y desaf铆os. Desde que sufro de depresi贸n y ansiedad, mi zona de confort ha sido un desaf铆o para m铆. Primero, porque a menudo no me siento en ninguna zona de confort. Cuando tengo periodos de mucha ansiedad, sufro ataques de p谩nico con frecuencia y en todas partes, tanto que estoy constantemente nerviosa y nunca me siento segura. 驴C贸mo puedo sentirme segura si mi propio cerebro es el enemigo? Sin embargo, durante periodos de depresi贸n severa, creo un refugio, una zona de confort, encierr谩ndome en casa y temiendo las nuevas experiencias porque me causan ansiedad. S铆, la ansiedad y la depresi贸n juntas son una combinaci贸n terrible y desagradable.
However, for those with my condition or similar conditions, the comfort zone can be an enemy or a dream. For me, too, leaving comfort behind becomes a prerogative at times, and I have to remind myself that I've left it behind many times; sometimes it worked out well, sometimes not. In Italy, the cult of change isn't very popular; there's even an old saying that goes, "He who leaves the old path knows what he's losing but not what he's finding," as a warning to stay on the same path. I disagree.
I always believe we need to try new paths. For example, if I hadn't changed psychiatrists and kept the old one, I wouldn't have seen any improvement and would probably have even ended up with psychotropic drug toxicity. If we didn't make changes, leaving behind what we think is our comfort zone, we'd never know whether life can improve us or not. What's certain is that I always believe we need to be careful and think carefully when making certain changes. I'm currently going to be stepping out of my comfort zone a lot with the next move, and although I'm scared, I'm also excited about going to a new city. I want to make new friends, see new places the city has to offer, and also seek out new job opportunities, which are scarce in my hometown and aren't helping my depression. I'll leave the comforts of my hometown for a new life.

Sin embargo, para quienes tienen mi condici贸n o condiciones similares, la zona de confort puede ser un enemigo o un sue帽o. Para m铆 tambi茅n, dejar atr谩s la comodidad se convierte a veces en una prerrogativa, y tengo que recordarme que la he dejado atr谩s muchas veces; a veces funcion贸 bien, a veces no. En Italia, el culto al cambio no es muy popular; incluso hay un viejo dicho que dice: 芦Quien abandona el viejo camino sabe lo que pierde, pero no lo que encuentra禄, como advertencia para seguir en el mismo camino.
No estoy de acuerdo. Siempre creo que debemos probar nuevos caminos. Por ejemplo, si no hubiera cambiado de psiquiatra y hubiera mantenido el anterior, no habr铆a visto ninguna mejora y probablemente incluso habr铆a terminado con una intoxicaci贸n por psicof谩rmacos. Si no hici茅ramos cambios, abandonando lo que consideramos nuestra zona de confort, nunca sabr铆amos si la vida puede mejorarnos o no. Lo cierto es que siempre creo que debemos ser cuidadosos y reflexionar cuidadosamente al hacer ciertos cambios. Ahora mismo voy a salir mucho de mi zona de confort con la pr贸xima mudanza, y aunque tengo miedo, tambi茅n me emociona ir a una nueva ciudad. Quiero hacer nuevos amigos, ver nuevos lugares que la ciudad ofrece y tambi茅n buscar nuevas oportunidades laborales, que son escasas en mi ciudad natal y no ayudan con mi depresi贸n. Dejar茅 la comodidad de mi ciudad natal por una nueva vida.
