When parents and teens share mental health struggles

My teenage daughter and I are both dealing with anxiety and depression and sometimes I don't know if I'm modeling healthy coping or if we're just feeding each other's patterns. We're very open with each other but I worry that my struggles are making hers worse and I don't know where the line is.
