I have never dealt with severe depression like this, I feel really hopeless and scared, I can't imagine a future out of all my mental health issues and I can't imagine being healthy and happy. The last 3/4 years I feel like I've done nothing but avoid things that are challenging and his at home every day because of my mental health and now it's all hitting me so hard that I'm so unhappy with my life and ick how to push through feeling so bad I can't even eat. I don’t even feel like I want to hurt myself but my will to live also feels so low. I hate feeling like I’m so trapped in a mental health cycle that nothing can break it

This is unbelievably hard, depression is crippling. Don't be afraid to reach out for help. Do you have a good support system? Please know, as someone who has experienced Depression that it can get so much better, you can someday look back at this time in your life and it be so much better. You will not always feel this way forever. It can feel endless but know that things change- things are always changing.

Get out. Take a walk. Feel the trees. Get upset because the ants are crawling on you. Create and focus on the roadmap to a goal. A goal that doesn't take your mental health into consideration. If you could do anything ad go anywhere or see anyone, what would you do? Challenge yourself to think on that for a few weeks. Often we are tricked by modern day society into believing that we must immediately answer a question. Even a question posed to ourself requires much thought. Who would you trust more, a person who is quick to answer or a person who took the time to consider and weigh each and every possibility? Be that person for yourself.

I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I know it’s not easy, but I really encourage you to be gentle with yourself. You deserve joy and peace - stay resilient; I know it feels impossible sometimes. I believe in you! 💕

I’m bad at responding to people individually and I honestly don’t think I have the brain power to but thankyou for the encouragement and love, it’s hard to stay positive and I think it’s unrealistic to expect myself to be happy all the time, I need to allow myself to be unhappy with where I am in life right now and also remember that all the things that I’m stressed about actually have treatment options. I’m just feeling blue because I can only afford to see my therapist once a month so I’m thinking of starting a gofundme. I hate asking for help but honestly my ocd is so severe I need to at this point

In combination with depression my adhd and ocd are at a standstill right now. I am experiencing a deep depression that I can't even describe. I'm scared to take anything to help with my depression because most of it makes me anxious then I get too scared to try anything again. I can't even take anything for focus because it also raises my anxiety and even natural remedies I'm starting to lose hope in. I can't wake up. I don't want to move. I have no motivation and see no hope in my future. I start cleaning then get distracted and give up minutes in. I can't complete tasks. I don't want to even be around anyone I just want to isolate myself. This over anxiety... but it just truly is difficult. I'm at a loss for what to do..

Stuck

I feel like crap. I am out in medication but I know it is not a fix all. I know I still have to work on this and I am still going to have tough days I am just so scared that I am not living my life ti the fullest. I am just really tired. I am trying my hardest though. I am scared the most about not being happy. I have had to live one day at a time before. I don’t want it ti get that bad again. I feel like I am just stuck in this infante loop. I am happy, then normal then horrible then slowly I pick myself up again and I can be happy but I miss out on so much while I am miserable. It is the worst feeling. It feels like nothing can fix this, all my fears are true and life has no meaning. I have am having a really hard week. I am sick, I m trying to socialize, I am doing work, I am away from home. It is just really hard right now. And I am scared it is going to just get worse

Feeling tired..

I feel like the only 23 year old who’s failing. Like, everyone I know my age is working or going to school, and neither I’ve been able to do for the last 3 years because of my mental health, and a fear of trying and failing. I tried college and it didn’t work out, I tried working and it didn’t work out, so I’ve been trying to focus on my mental health and getting stronger before trying again but now I’m at the point I feel like I’m doomed to never accomplish anything ever again. Every day when I’m doing my household chores or running errands, or doing literally any productive thing, my brain yells the whole time “you’re not doing this task good enough” and “you can’t even do this right, imagine trying to hold a job?” And when I do a task and feel accomplished for a moment, my brain says “your friends are doing way more than this at their jobs, you shouldn’t be proud at all”. I’m so scared my entire life is going to be this hard, even though I’ve made strides in my mental health journey, it still never feels good enough. It’s still so hard and I’m still so scared I’m doomed to never accomplish anything
