Depression

AM
7 months ago

How do you get yourself out of depression? Right now i feel stuck, kind of frozen like in my mind, whenever I try to get myself to do something I can’t work up the motivation for it and I spend alot of time in my bed. I think I’m experiencing depression, although I don’t know I’m experiencing many of the symptoms, especially the feeling of hopelessness.

I don’t know what brought it on, I just think I’ve been trying to keep going for so long, when I don’t really have any support, or friends, or something to look forward to/ work towards that I’m just in a position where I feel defeated and exhausted. I’m not sure what to do as I’ve never felt this bad before and honestly I’m really worried about my future currently. 

i really want to live a life like everyone my age but it’s all proving difficult right now. I feel like I’m behind and am losing any sense of potential I have. I’m afraid of falling behind and ending up alone honestly, I want to have goals and I don’t want to have to rely on benefits all my life. 

If anyone has any advice on something related to that it would be appreciated?

    I get that! I relate to everything you just said, 

    it’s so hard to find the motivation to get out of my room. I’m currently on meds for my “low mood” and honestly I don’t think it helps. I’m so tired and burnt out all of the time and I too don’t have any friends to talk about my issues to. 
    however I have decided that maybe being on my own isn’t too bad and there’s a lot I can do to motivate myself like hobbies. I currently find going to the gym is a huge motivation, it gets me out of the house and makes me feel like I’m doing something good and I don’t have to really on my toxic friends that I’m trying to get rid of. It makes me feel better about myself and it’s making me want to keep going to get my perfect body. Sorry if it’s a lot of info lol 

    but I hope there’s something similar out there that keeps your mind set healthy because that’s what helps me!

    hope this helps!

    thank you for the advice, I hope there is something that helps too, although I’m really struggling with my mental health at my moment and it’s worrying me so I don’t know what to do for that currently
