Tired eyes
Does having tired or heave eyes mean you’re depressed

It can mean many things. I find that when my eyes feel this way it’s because I’m very exhausted from the constant ruminations. I also deal with the fear of becoming depressed. That leads me to constant research and thinking of depression. Be as open as possible with your therapist :)

Yeah so basically my fear is more or less the fear of losing control. Somehow ocd convinced me that I will become depressed and lose control and harm myself. The way I’m coping with it is responding to my ocd with “maybe” “maybe it will happen and maybe it won’t” also I stopped looking things up and looking for answers because I would never find “an answer” that would satisfy my ocd. Even though I just “need to look this up just to make sure” I don’t and I sit with the uncertainty and anxiety. It will eventually fade and I become focused on whatever I need to do or was doing before ocd interrupts. That’s kinda how I go about it. I’m still working on it though. Therapy has definitely helped!! I’m glad you are taking the step on reaching out for help!

Omg that sounds just like me !!! Becoming depressed and losing control. I’ll compare myself to depressed patients that I see at work or read their chart to compare to see if I’m like that. But what’s more scary right now Is my anxiety has been lower I’m worried that now I just don’t care or that maybe the anxiety is gone and now it’s depression. Ugh it’s a battle but yes I have a therapy session tomorrow I’m not sure if he does ERP tho

Well it’s worth asking if he treats ocd. I first started talking to a therapist and found it wasn’t helping much. That’s when I found out about nocd (which they have a bunch of great videos on YouTube) I’m working with a nocd therapist and she’s been really helpful. There is a Q&A today in about 3 hrs that they are holding on YouTube. If you can find the time, I’d recommend watching and maybe even asking a question in the comment section. https://youtu.be/dpjXlrWp_-4

@NrseKris Medication doesn’t work on me but I’m a rare expection. It wholly depends on you and what your therapist says. But that’s why you need to be honest with your therapist and work extremely hard on your sessions and ERP.

@NrseKris Like what tips? I share overall tips often and I learned recently you can follow specific people if you click usernames. Might be easier to do that than ask for specifics.

feeling low
I think I’m going through the hardest depression right now. I’ve never felt so compelled to just stop getting up and stop living. I know it’s hard to hear, I just really feel bad. Right now I even feel like an attention seeker. I just wanted to know, are there any tips to raise me from this hole im in? Has anyone else felt like this an pulled themselves out?
