What do you do to help you when your depression gets really bad and you don’t feel like you belong in this world? I don’t want to hurt myself I’m just in lots of pain.

I am feeling like that right now. I think I am starting go down on depression again. I dont know what to do. I wish I was useful for something and that there was someone who I van talk

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.
