Feeling down
I’ve been this why for a while now, since I was 12 I’ve always felt this darkness hanging over me… am 25 now and it still comes and go’s todays a bad day the week, months, fu*king year already am depressed 24/7 I feel like there no way out and now this is triggering me back to when I used unhealthy coping mechanisms and am struggling I just want it to end… I just want to be normal and happy.
i through 2023 would be better, different but same *** different year I guess
Give 2023 a chance. It's still January. Plenty of 2023 left.
Come this way. This is the way out.
Find happiness in the little things (nice weather, a good parking spot, hearing your favorite song, ect...)
And what's normal anyway? Everybody has something nowadays. Life is challenging at times, but so worth it. Find your purpose and let that motivate you.
Do I have all the answers? No. I'm just another person struggling with depression and anxiety. I keep trying though. Every day is a new day.
Good luck 🙂
I hope you feel better
Sometimes we can manage and sometimes the world feels like it is collapsing. I am so sorry that your struggles are deeper right now.
What kinds of things are you doing to cope? Do you have a support network that you talk to? @frankTangerine2207
Am working a lot to try keep busy (65 hour weeks) I work as a support/care worker and for the support network not really x
That is quite a few hours! Impressive, but be sure that you get rest too. Being exhausted makes everything worse. Are you eating, drinking water, and sleeping okay? @frankTangerine2207
@frankTangerine2207 I'm 25 too and I've also battled depression my whole life. I'm sorry you're apart of the crew. I think what a lot of people don't understand is that when you've been battling mental health issues through childhood you don't have a memory or a time when you can say, I was okay before XYZ. It's hard to know if it's just apart of your personality, but I will say this. Depression means you're depressing something. Weather that be an experience or an emotion, it will be different for you as what it is for me. There is some void not being filled inside that you ignore to try and get on with it as everyone else is. Our body is telling us something isn't okay. Some people can find happiness in the little things, and I wish that was us. But maybe we are depressed because we are in the wrong place and we need to change the part that isn't okay. You might be depressed right now, but there's nothing wrong with you and stop letting people tell you there is and you need to enjoy the little things. Listen to your body and find out what's wrong.
I hope you feel better soon! x
thank you so much! That really helped knowing someone feel exactly the way I am feeling right now! Am off this weekend so think of doing thing I love, going for walks with my partner and being a big child and playing the new Pokémon on my switch.
thank you so much ❤️
