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.

Oh yes thank you @Faith-and-Hope i will look for a sarong tomorrow.

@outlander To relax I just have a bath, warm milk with honey, lay down and just shut my eyes and wait for sleep to come. I hope your meds kick in too. ❤️

Re: sad&stuck

Starting to get overwhelmed. im meeting up with someone tomorrow. Its been awhile since I've done the whole 'friend' thing. I'm freaking out a bit. My parents are getting me a dog. They are trying really hard to make things better for me but ultimately I have no hope, I feel like I will not recover and im so upset that I'm going to hurt them and cause them so much pain when IT happens in the future.Im seeing the DBT psychologist on Friday and I'm freaking out about that too. Ive been trying so hard to focus on my holiday next week but its upsetting me that Monday feels ages away still and ive still got some things to get through before I can go away for a little while.

Re: sad&stuck

Aww hugs @STORMGRL101

I hope tomorrow goes well for you 💕
It sounds like your parents are trying to help.. maybe youll find like dog gives you something else to think off and something other than your own thoughts to worry about.
Your therapy session- we will be here for you for that too. Its only 4 days to go. It seems far away but it really isnt.
