I try to go on a lot of walks and do crafts and watch YouTube and read! I talk to a couple people that I can trust as well. My therapist taught me to do the opposite of what depression says so if it says lay on the couch than get up and clean or if it says to stay in bed all day get up and at least move to a chair. I also saw someone say use the anxiety as positive energy to clean. I say this and I haven’t cleaned in 2 or 3 weeks. But sometimes this works great for me

I usually try to talk to someone, write my feelings down, or distract myself with TV if I’m in a really bad place until I’m safe enough to process those emotions. To process those emotions I identify the emotion and say it out loud like ‘I feel so sad’. And/or identify feelings in my body like ‘my face feels heavy’. Music is a big release for me. Just having compassion for yourself (there is never too much compassion!!! It’s okay to feel sorry for yourself!). I’m sorry your going through this. It’s sounds super painful. ❤️ I send my heart out to you.

This is a small one, but everyone always says to think of things youre grateful for. I find that to be difficult bc its corny, so I just list things I liked experiencing in the past day or week. "I liked how the sun felt on my face when I went on the porch," "I liked listening to that song," etc. Once I have a list of things, it doesnt seem so bad nd I can get through to at least the next day.

need help
I’m having a bad episode right now and I’m feeling so depressed and I’m crying like a baby because I’m thinking that if my mom knew the reasons I’m like this she would hate me and what would I ever do without my mom. I’m feeling so alone. I just need my mom but I know I can’t open up to her. Like even if I’m this horrible person my mom would despise me too? I can’t handle that someone please help.

I need help
I struggle with self harm and depression. I told my doctor a week ago that I have suicidal thoughts and she put me on an anxiety/depression med and she said it could make things better or worse. I have noticed I barely eat anything anymore and I started to self harm more. I go through my day struggling and I’ve lost my friends and I stay in my room 24/7. I don’t feel like doing anything anymore. People say “oh it’ll get better” or “you’ll overcome it” or “don’t worry it’ll be okay” but guess what it’s not true. I feel like no one gets me or no one will listen to me. No one understands the pain I go through every second of the day trying my hardest to put on a fake smile. I can’t do it anymore. I want it to stop.

Please help me. I’m so done with my life
I hate sitting in my room with only me and my thoughts. I have lost my faith in the lord and can’t seem to get on with my life. I’m so stuck on everything and can’t seem to get better. I keep self harming and get to the point to where I see the second layer of my skin. It gets worse and worse each time I have suicidal thoughts. One of these days it’ll get so bad that well you can probably guess what I may do. I have been abused physically mentally and sexually in my past and it haunts me every single day of my life. Any time I try to talk to someone about my mental health they tell me I’m a waste of their time or that I need to talk to someone other than them. But all that does is make me keep it all bottled up and I can’t take it anymore. They say mental abuse is worse than physical and I can see why they say that. I just want a normal life so I don’t have to be depressed 24/7. It ruins my social life and it makes me loose my friends and family because of how distant I am. I just need help and please give me advice. Also sorry I’m not very good at explaining things.
