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 and welcome

    Really sorry to hear of your challenges, I do also struggle off and on so I understand a little about how it can wear you down. 
    This is not medical advice but just my personal experience. I have been on antidepressants for a while now which help a little but by no means is it a magic wand, I have also been having therapy for quite some time which again is not a fix but it helps. My therapist is neurodivergent herself so it feels far more authentic to me and allows me to be very open with her. I also meditate every day and listen to brown noise throughout the night on my audio sleep mask which helps.

    i journal most days as well which help to remove them from looping over and over in my head as well, that way when I look back and there is gaps in my journaling I know I have had some good days.

    For me lots of little things that help all add up to be a bigger help so I guess trying different things might help you to make some new discoveries. 

    I have lost interest in my special interests and have for a while now and I don’t know why so I’m hoping I regain my enthusiasm for them as they occupied my attention. 

    I would say try not to be so critical of yourself but it’s very difficult to put into practice when things are tough.

    I hope you are able to find some small things that help
