Depression

faespirit

I am literally just wasting my life away. I try and make changes in my life and then can’t cope and quit everything. All I want to do is isolate myself indoors and never see anyone again. I just quit my volunteering because I couldn’t cope with the stress, anxiety, depression and pain from my pain conditions. I think there is no job out there for me. I had to give my puppy to my parents because I couldn’t cope with her anymore and was getting extreme suicidal thoughts. I feel lonely like no one understands me. I don’t see the point in life just to suffer everyday. I try to do hobbies and things I enjoy like anime, gaming, drawing and listening to music but nothing will shake away the feeling of guilt, shame and worthlessness. I can’t even start hobbies because I get stuck overthinking and overwhelmed and then can’t move (adhd paralysis). My head is always so loud and won’t shut up. I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m waiting for therapy but I don’t see a way forward.

  • Hi there, I’m so sorry you are struggling at the moment. I feel the exact same way as you so I feel for you, I hope you are looking after yourself. I enjoy the same hobbies as you, maybe when try and ground yourself with like the 5 senses technique or look for things of a specific shape. Please do enjoy your hobbies though as they are what help you and make you feel better. As for the loud head issue, maybe try listening to music to drown those horrible things in your head out, whether it’s upbeat or calming. I know we haven’t met but from what you have described I can understand you and your issues so you’re not alone. 

    What anime and games do you like?

    I’m sorry you feel the same way. Thank you for the suggestions. Music definitely helps a little with the loud thoughts. I’m glad to hear I’m not alone, but sorry you are suffering too. I like every anime I watch really, but my favourites are Demon Slayer and My Dress Up Darling. I just finished watching Am I Actually The Strongest and just started Overlord. My favourite are the reincarnation and romance anime’s. I like playing cosy games such as Critter Cafe and Hello Kitty Adventure Island. But I don’t play much because I get stressed easily with the list of tasks it gives you to do. What’s your favourite anime’s and games? I also have a bad obsession with buying anime figures and plushies which is stressful because I don’t have much money to buy those things :,(

    Oooh that anime event sounds so fun! I hope you enjoy it! I’ve heard of crunchyroll but never really looked into it so I will do my research! And you can never have too many of what you love, that’s how I personally look at it. Omg I want a hot wheels and even Lego of Princess Peach and even Yoshi lol! I hope your therapy goes well too! I’m always here if you need to chat too xx

    I guess I see it that way because my family thinks I shouldn’t waste money on them and that I already have too many. But yeh I do enjoy it, I love the mini jellycats and girly anime figures. Okay, I use Crunchyroll to watch anime which is quite good. I like princess peach, I have a Hot Wheels of her. Thank you, I’m trying my best not to, hopefully the therapy comes quickly. I am going to an anime event this week so I’m looking forward to that :)

    Aww don’t you worry about buying those figures and plushies, I am exactly the same! It’s not an obsession from my point of view, it’s a passion and you should be proud of your passions. Maybe try spending on something like once a month or something, or save up a little bit then have a little splash out. I will have to have a look for the anime’s you have mentioned, I don’t seem to get many anime shows on my tv and subscriptions so I tend to watch on daily motion if that is possible. My favourite anime is Kirby, right back at ya! I also like playing cozy and simulation games too. I really like playing Animal Crossing, I also enjoyed Simpsons tapped out but that closed in January. I also like adventure games and action games too, my favourite franchises are Mario, Yoshi, Kirby and Princess Peach and lately I have been playing a childhood game I love which is Simpsons hit and run! I hope you feel better soon, please don’t do anything to hurt yourself, you are worthy x
