...See more It is so hard for someone who built so many thick barriers to other people and walkd away from anyone who could have helped them now to find out that they need to let someone in to help them deal with their life. someone that can be let through those walls and can provide the kind of help that is needed in the moment. How do people find those supportive, available people?

struggling with dealing with my depression and anxiety

...See more After hemming and hawing, searching for the right words, and telling myself not to post anything, I managed to put two thoughts out in text: it is too depressing and anxiety-provoking to try to live the life I want. I have a hard time believing that i deserve to live well/happy. That's entirely not the whole story, of course, but even saying that much was a major struggle.

Tired of living without direction

...See more I am dissatisfied with my life, as it is. But I dont know what I should focus my energy on: a job, more friends, a girlfriend? Do I work on identifying my core values, boost my self esteem, brainstorm job choices? I feel like I need to be doing something, working on some part of my life; doing worksheets, deep, soul-searching journal writing, seeking advice from friends, but it all seems like busywork without some guidepost to be working toward. Is all of this just navel-gazing, over thinking? Do I just do something with intent, and not a well-defined goal?

...See more I was able to express my honest emotions and frustrations I was having with my depression in a therapy session yesterday, and my therapist stood with me and helped me get the additional support I needed. It's so hard for me to show what's really going on with me, and even asking for help is a major challenge, but everyone I worked with to get help was so helpful and supportive that I appreciate their efforts so much.
