sad&stuck

Major depression & social anxiety have been ruling my life and I feel so stuck. Lack of motivation, emotional overeating, loneliness..(my partner works nights and sleeps during the day, i have no friends & my family are either away or busy and I feel like I don't want to bother them) feelings of being worthless and hopeless, racing thoughts... I'm tired. And sad. No medication is helping and I have a support team around me (psychologist, psychiatrist, gp, mental health support worker) but I can't help but think why bother. Ive been holding on for so long and it doesn't seem to be getting better. I feel like there's only so much distracting I can do. Sorry, you probably don't want to read my depressing s*&t but thanks if you do.

Re: sad&stuck

Oh @STORMGRL101 I really don't know - we just get through each day - some are better than others - and often that isn't saying much! All I can say to you is that I understand and even though I don't want to keep fighting I literally don't have the strength to end it either. ...and there is the thought of all those on here who I know are behind me no matter how I am feeling - and the same goes for you Storm

We get through each minute, hour, day the best we can and try to hold on to a tiny bit of hope that it can get better. Some days we do see the smallest slither of light - I am trying really hard to remember those days - and I hope you can too.

Sitting with you Storm...
