Battling mental health

Hi @Kendrick

Welcome to the forums and good on you for reaching out. It sounds like are really struggling with feeling depressed. Do you have a mental health professional you see such as a psychologist, psychiatrist, GP, counsellor?

I hope others chime in and offer advice of what has helped for them. My main issue is anxiety but I have an understanding of depression and feeling like you have no purpose. I feel that sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to 'find out purpose' that it can backfire and make us feel even more hopeless. Just the other day I can across some articles about 'finding your sense of purpose' and there was lots of helpful suggestions.

I hope you start to feel better soon,

Hanami

Welcome, @Kendrick

Do you have any professional support?

I know for the lack of purpose I have found volunteering has really helped me. It has also helped in making new friends.

An important forum tip is if you type @ and then click on a name in the drop-down box, that person will get a notification and won't miss your reply.

@NatureLover hi thank you for replying , yes I do have a little bit professional help with my gp and about to see a psychiatrist to help with what is happening I really just feel lost and very unhappy I have mood swings I can’t control I’m all over the place very frustrating I don’t know what’s wrong
