Can’t be productive
Depression Support / by ohhappyday
Last post
 December 3rd, 2022
...See more First of all, I want to mention that I am not diagnosed, and that I’ve been dealing with what I believe to be depression for the past 9 years. TW: thoughts of death (not suicide) My mental health has its ups and downs, but it’s been down this entire year. Right now, it’s pretty bad again. I’m unable to get out of bed, can’t fulfill my responsibilities, and can’t bring myself to talk to people. I’m isolating myself, because the world exhausts me. It’s still not the worst it can get, because when it’s really bad all I can think about is how nice it would be to just, disappear. (I’d never do anything to myself though, don’t worry). When my mental space is there, the pain of simply being alive is a lot to bear, and breathing becomes a burden. All I can do is cry, and that is when I’m able to feel anything. Anyways, I dont want to feel that way again any time soon, but at this rate, I just might. So please give me advice on how I can be productive and get out of bed and face the world and the things I need to do. It’s a cycle. I escape my responsibilities, and the guilt catches up to me. The only way out is to face it all, but I don’t have the energy to do that right now. So please give me advice on things I could try so that I can stop escaping, and get back on my feet.
