Okay! I want to add more it but i do not want to sound arrogant.

Anxiety and depression look like they have their own identity that is persistent. I looked it like that for years myself.

Eventually, i started to see them differently.

Adding on what I said before. We wear identities like clothes based on what is needed in the moment. What if I am not able to? 1) Either I do not have the energy to create an identity (that looks like depression) 2) I do not know what identity to create (instant panic, that looks like anxiety)

Different reasons, but result is the same. Unable to function to our potential.
