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

Does anyone feel like they’re wasting their life away with mental illness? It depresses me so much everyday. My mental health has ruined my life since I was 15 and now I’m approaching 24 and am still in the same place- actually worse. I feel like when I get my life together I’ll be 28 and all my good years would’ve passed. It just makes me so sad 😔

Anybody else deal with this?

Has anybody out here ever been so depressed and anxious that you feel as if you’ve completely let your life go? For example: I haven’t gotten a haircut in months, I wear the same clothes all the time (no motivation to wash them even though it’s downstairs,) my apartment is an unbearable mess (all my life before this disease I was neat as a pin,) my mailbox is probably flooded from not checking it for weeks, I’ve been putting off projects I’d like to do that I know will make me feel better, my to-do list has stayed stagnant for over half the year, I never wear make up or do my nails like I used to… I feel like a terrible bum. Everyday I just sit on the couch and pray to survive the day and then it ends there. Oh, and I’m sure my car looks terrible, as I haven’t been the one driving it lately. I’m also always stressed about money and hang onto every penny I possibly can even if it means taking away necessary things. I feel like I’m going to explode. :( If any of you have ever let everything go before, how did you go back to normal/bring it all back together? I’m afraid I’m going to live this way forever. Any advice would be so incredibly appreciated. I would be so ecstatic to hear your story — we may be able to help each other even. Thank you so much.

Feeling hopeless

I feel so hopeless and alone right now. Even seeking therapy seems like a waste of time for me. Im just so tired of battling with my mind everyday and having not much of a support system. I just want to stay in bed and not do anything because even getting through the day feels so hard sometimes.
