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.

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?

At this point I think I’m just tired. Took me a massive amount of strength to even type this. I’ve never had it this bad with anxiety depression and OCD. Firstly, how do you guys handle the trauma that comes with OCD. I recently realized Ive traumatized by own mind. I think this contributes to depression. Also, the thoughts frequency have gotten so high. It just literally jams its self in my brain. Before, I had some sort of control (at least a grip) but this days it’s so hard to try to get a grip. The unwanted feelings too? Omg, reactions that I literally can’t stand plagues me. My mind turns almost everything sexual. It’s crazy 🙃 Then the anxietyyyyyy! Wheew. I’m like a walking anxiety attack, my heart is always beating fast and it’s so painful. Working is so hard because I can’t get a grip, I feel so broken and I don’t think anyone can relate to this. I don’t know what I can do to help. Then the pressure in my head (that causes headache sometimes), sometimes I genuinely think I have a tumor! I’m pregnant so that makes it sadder, makes me wonder what kind of mother this beautiful soul is coming out here to meet. I don’t want to be a sad mother, and I cry more when I realize my child can feel what I feel rn in my belly😔. Another thing, the moment I don’t wanna do something, doesn’t even have to be anything bad. That’s when it feels my mind wants to force me to do it. It’s a whole lot and I’m just holding on to Jesus to help me out. At least he’s here so that’s comforting.

Just feeling down. I feel uncomfortable in my own skin and sad about trauma I went through, also about mistakes I’ve made. I just feel so sad and I want to cry. I just want to talk to God so bad.. or my younger self. I have so many questions:( .. I don’t want to victimize myself, but it hurts. Nobody talks about how gross and disgusting you feel after going through seggsual trauma as a kid, and how it messes up your brain sortve .. I will make something of myself no matter what. I think I will just light some sage and rest.. this isn’t the end. I love this world, it’s such a blessing to be here. No matter the good or bad.. I just need to keep that in mind
