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.

    Well I think you just listed a way forward right there. It sounds like therapy is the best idea for you at the moment. I will say though: If therapy doesn’t help, then don’t give up. Try another therapist. Or try a different sort of therapy. Don’t judge the outcome of your life solely on whether this upcoming therapy is going to work out well or not.

    Thank you, I hope therapy helps but I have done it many times before with no luck. But maybe this time will be different as I’m actually diagnosed with autism and adhd now. I’ve tried counselling, cbt and art therapy. I am waiting for adhd medication too so I’m hoping it can make some sort of difference.
