Hey there @Morrie
I totally agree with you, taking the first step is always the scariest and the hardest, but reaching out and wanting to speak to someone is a great step (like you are now!)
Is there anything that you could do that might be a little step forward as well that helps you?
Are you currently speaking to a professional or do you have any other supports around you that might be helpful during this time?
You're not alone,
I am sitting with you 🙂

Hey @Morrie ,
I think most people have experienced this at some point or another.
It's certainly not easy taking that first step!
Would it help if you were accountable to someone so you'd have to make yourself get up and do something? e.g. have a coffee, go for a walk, go to a club?

Hi @Morrie , nice to meet you. I can certainly empathise.
It sounds like depression to me 😢
Do you have any professional support? Like a counsellor, meds, psychologist or psychiatrist?
