Depression

im feeling so depressed today all ive been doing is lying in bed and i feel so bad. my mom scolds me telling me to get up and its not normal but i have no motivation to do anything. Theres no point to do anything if im so old and just getting older. I cant enjoy anything and im just so scared. All ive been doing is scrolling social media looking at other ages and their experiences and feeling bad for them too. I dont even want it to get better i just want it to end or for me to be young again. im just so scared

Being present with your feelings . Naming them out loud. Saying I’m sad or mad or frustrated or lonely or loved, or happy. It helps direct you

I’m 50. It all goes in phases. Diet from social media can still help. Have a little loneliness. Try to enjoy it a little. It can do wonders

@Phi up 1123 thanks, i think it just has become really hard to enjoy life since a few months after i turned 16 until now, a few months after i turned 17. i cant even pinpoint why but i have a feeling that if i try to look deeper as to why i might spiral more.. thank you for your comment though, I feel encouraged some

@pronut I’ve been having this weird trend too. Where I’m realizing I’m not young anymore and the rest of my life feels like it’s going to go by swiftly and mundane. I think where has the time gone? Yet I have to think about external people in my life and see the changes and things that have happened in other peoples lives in the same time frame that mine has seemed to have drifted by. There’s a long road ahead but I feel the more I’m on social media and the less I’m actually doing things the less I open up to new experiences therefore I am going to continue to feel like the dark side of life.

@davem2 yeah i get that. it feels terrifyingly fast. And its weird because seeing other people get older and change doesnt make me feel like im missing out or anything, but it just makes me feel like even more aware that time is passing. And i also feel bad for them because theyll never be able to relieve these days there experiencing. I cant even imagine the future, but when i try to, it just ends up being something that will "pass" eventually. I wish i could delete social media but without it i feel even more alone. But the older you get the harder it is to find people your age on there. Like im 17 and tbh i find it difficult to find people exactly my age which makes me feel isolated. idk i really need to quit it because i began using twitter when i was like 10 and that kind of messed me up honestly, but yeah its really difficult. I wonder if ill feel more content if i spend time with my family instead, but they also use social media so....

@pronut Yes, you may feel isolated by detoxing from social media but time will definitely slow down for you if you take a break. Almost all social media has moved to short form content which has us scrolling through video after video and comment section after comment section then poof 3 hours of our life felt like a few minutes.

Just turned 20, and im feeling sm dread

I turned 20 years old today. Ive been reflecting a lot. Since ive joined this app ive been an ever changing person. Which is good i want to change i want to be good but i still feel the same inside. Especially when i feel like this. Feel of dread an anxiety. This sense of foreboding i hate. I just feel so sad. I didn’t have good teenage years. Ive just been sad since it began and now thats its over i dont know what to expect. Im scared. Im no longer a child im a full fledged adult. Everything feels so far away but everything still hurts. Im scared for my future but looking ahead at the same time. What do i do now that im 20? Do i drop my interests? Move out? I dont know i feel like i need to do something. I dont want to spiral but i feel so much dread. I dont know what to do.

Bad days idkk

I feel so horrible and guilty, I've been pretty depressed lately and I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or not but my mom keeps getting mad at me, and I keep getting snappy with her. The other day she tried to take a selfie with me and I kinda got mad at her because it was in front of everyone and I didn't want to get anyone uncomfortable if they were accidently in the background so I told her stop in a kind of mean way. She stopped talking to me for the rest of the night and she keeps bringing up how disrespectful I am. I tried to explain to her I didn't mean anything mean by it?? It's triggering my OCD so bad and tonight i'm going to see a band I really wanted to see, and i'm super afraid shes gonna start bringing up how mean i've been lately. I've been really depressed and upset because of school and how much work their giving me, and I've been in my room for mostly more than 10 hours a day doing nothing but watching TV because I can't bring myself out of it, I don't know what to do anymore and the guilt of me possibly being a mean and aggressive person is haunting me.

scared of being depressed.

I usually would say I’ve never been depressed , but recently in my life since my anxiety/ocd has been so bad and having relationship problems I’m feeling kinda sad / stressed. I keep getting scared of being depressed I keep having intrusive thoughts of “ you’d would be better off if you weren’t living” “ I don’t wanna live if it’s like this” and it’s just scaring me 😞
