Learning a third language has been remarkably effective at managing my depression, anxiety, and the nasty parts of my personality disorder.

Even when I can do nothing else, I can practice reading or writing or learn some vocabulary. Particularly in the context of current events, in which I'm struggling to get myself ready to flee the country while fighting off the desire to give up, doing this makes me feel as if I've accomplished something. I've taught myself another skill which brings me closer to that goal, no matter how small the particular skill may be.
