Leaving comfort is difficult for those suffering from anxiety and depression, but necessary. (ENG/ESP) ❤️❤️
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.

El tema de esta semana es dejar atrás la comodidad, y quiero hablar de ello desde la perspectiva de alguien que, lamentablemente, ha sufrido ansiedad y depresión durante varios años. Cuando no lo sufría, me encantaba salir de mi zona de confort, viajar, experimentar cosas, etc. De hecho, tuve una época positiva en la que siempre buscaba cosas nuevas. Lamentablemente, de joven, probablemente ya sufría de algunos trastornos por estar confinada en casa durante largos periodos y tener muchas dificultades para afrontar nuevas cosas y desafíos. Desde que sufro de depresión y ansiedad, mi zona de confort ha sido un desafío para mí. Primero, porque a menudo no me siento en ninguna zona de confort. Cuando tengo periodos de mucha ansiedad, sufro ataques de pánico con frecuencia y en todas partes, tanto que estoy constantemente nerviosa y nunca me siento segura. ¿Cómo puedo sentirme segura si mi propio cerebro es el enemigo? Sin embargo, durante periodos de depresión severa, creo un refugio, una zona de confort, encierrándome en casa y temiendo las nuevas experiencias porque me causan ansiedad. Sí, la ansiedad y la depresión juntas son una combinación 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 condición o condiciones similares, la zona de confort puede ser un enemigo o un sueño. Para mí también, dejar atrás la comodidad se convierte a veces en una prerrogativa, y tengo que recordarme que la he dejado atrás muchas veces; a veces funcionó bien, a veces no. En Italia, el culto al cambio no es muy popular; incluso hay un viejo dicho que dice: «Quien abandona el viejo camino sabe lo que pierde, pero no lo que encuentra», 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 habría visto ninguna mejora y probablemente incluso habría terminado con una intoxicación por psicofármacos. Si no hiciéramos cambios, abandonando lo que consideramos nuestra zona de confort, nunca sabríamos 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 próxima mudanza, y aunque tengo miedo, también me emociona ir a una nueva ciudad. Quiero hacer nuevos amigos, ver nuevos lugares que la ciudad ofrece y también buscar nuevas oportunidades laborales, que son escasas en mi ciudad natal y no ayudan con mi depresión. Dejaré la comodidad de mi ciudad natal por una nueva vida.

The concept of embracing change, requires a lot of rationality. If one goes ahead to leave his comfort zone, without weighing his options, I’m afraid it’ll all come crashing down. It may even result in them becoming worse than they were before. I like your stance on this prompt. I’m glad I read it💕
