Struggling with depression

I am struggling. I have been struggling for a while ever since I reported my parents, and gaurdian. That was back in late June. I was put into foster care on my birthday. SO my entire time I've been 16 i've been in foster care. My nightmares, and triggers have gotten more and worse. Idk how to help myself anymore. Everyone around me. My Aunt, and unlce and there kids, who I am staying with are so happy. And I just am not.


I don't interact with people, and it is wearing me down... I miss human interactions, that are heathy. I feel like a zombie going throughout life. Idk how to live, and not just survive. I am trying to break some bad habits, but idk what to do with my life anymore... Maybe i'll get a second part time job, but idk...


*Hugs to anyone who wants!!!

@NobleSeekerĀ Thank you so much for your kind words! I appressate them a lot. Heeling takes a lot longer then I ever want... I hate the procces, it is such a bumpy roady. But I have come a long way since when I first joined 7cups. You just reminded me how messed up I was at the begining of the journy. I hope you are doing well!

Thanks, but idk what to say anymore. The one person that I used to talk to all the time I had to drop contact with last week. And life has been really hard without contacting her. I also have my jaw surgery this week that I am absolutely terrified about...

Hi, @PickoffĀ 

*Hugs if you want*

Thank you for coming here. It sounds like you’re feeling numb to the world, in comparison to others around you. I want you to know that everyone here welcomes you, and that we’re here, no matter if it’s a low energy day or a celebration. Hope comes one day at a time. šŸ’›
