Careless, please help

Careless, please help

I've always been an over emotional person, lately I feel extremely careless. I'm not sure what to do..
There's so many things and situations I've been in where I seem to lack any emotion at all. I know these are all text book signs on depression but I've never been so self aware of these symptoms as I haven been lately. I feel like if be better off on my own. Alone.
Does anyone else feel this way? Where can I start to help because as much as I know I can't live like this...
Sometimes I don't want to help myself 😕

Re: Careless, please help

Hi @Carefulyet, you have started the process of getting help by coming here and posting. Good on you for that step. Do you have other support in place, such as a GP you trust and see in an ongoing way, a psychiatrist and/or psychologist, or support from friends, family or other community groups? These are all options for other support in this situation where you feel you are sliding or have already reached a state of depression. Hoping to hear more from you about what's been happening in your life. Wishing you the best.

Re: Careless, please help

@Carefulyet. I think that by posting on this forum - you really di want help. It's hard when our negative self talk becomes so loud that we think we may not want help or may not deserve help.
But you do deserve to live a better life.
I'd recommend going and talking to your gp and letting them know how you are feeling. Ask for a referral to a psychologist or counselor. Do you have family or close friends that you can talk to?
I do hope you seek further help.
All the best
