sad&stuck

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

@STORMGRL101 I can relate to your feelings of how hard it is to keep existing. I have a weighted blanket and I find it super helpful.

Having gigantic feelings is super overwhelming. I'm really glad you have supportive family around you @STORMGRL101. I wish I had something helpful to say, but alas, I don't. I can just sit with you in your darkness.

Re: sad&stuck

Starting to feel overwhelmed again, want to SH.
Worried about the next few days. Need to try to keep myself together this week and no hospital visits.
Parents taking me on a plane next week to a nice place in QLD to get away. Will be in bathers a lot and I'm worrying about them seeing my SH scars. Help.

Re: sad&stuck

Hi @STORMGRL101 I so relate to the fear of revealing scars to people. And its not good to sunbake scars. Is it your thighs? (I did a lot on my thighs when young) Can you wear those knee length billabong togs and a shirt? Try not to worry too much, it is what it is.

Can you get on a treadmill or a little jogging tramp to burn up some energy when you feel like this at night?

I just had a strong Chai Latte, can you make yourself a yummy cocco or hot chocolate?
