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

Thank you @Former-Member. Physical causes have been ruled out.

my weighted blanket came today. Another thing to help during this super difficult time. Please keep your fingers crossed this coming week that I will be accepted to have some more time away in a "break place." I am trying not to worry about it...if I get rejected it will be really bad.. but trying not to focus on that at the moment, just focusing on getting through tonight.

No i'm not okay. They decided to send me home and my feelings are still too big to handle. I have the support of my parents and partner but I feel soo bad that I don't want to be with them I just want to go away. I have my first appointment with a DBT psychologist on Friday. I have been trying to use all the tools I have so far.. my weighted blanket, ice on my head, grounding tecniques but last night I just had enough and it all became too much as it seems to do a lot in the last few months. I can't handle this

Re: sad&stuck

@STORMGRL101, we are with you too, hang in there. One hour at a time. Do you have any craft to do? I do colouring-in when can't think things through. Once we start something like that it often just flows for a while. I like trying to use all different shades of my fav colour. Deep breaths. Try not to beat yourself about last night, you'll build strategies not to act on those feelings (like i'm using today). Be kind to yourself. Get lots of rest. Hugz 🌷🌿💜

Re: sad&stuck

@Baboo @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope Just reading your messages of support are making me cry but i really really appreciate it. I have my weighted blanket on, laptop, colouring stuff and pens nearby. I feel so totally defeated and don't know how or why I still continue to hold on. Just existing is so hard
