Cant get a grip on my thoughts and im almost at my wits end. Help
im a 23 year old guy and iv been struggling with depression for about 4 years now and recently its gotten out of hand so im looking for help for the first time, iv chatted with 7 different listeners and so far all i have got in answer to my feelings is 2 get professional help (not an option for me right now) 1 get meddicated (goes completely against my personal beliefs) and 4 get over it's/try harder, this is easy's. and this has me feeling helpess
long story short, iv had an awesome life with almost no emotional trauma but i cant get over this looming cloud over my head and i recognize that i am hyper critical of myself and mistakes i make drive me crazy for a few hours and then haunt me for weeks. i know its self destructive but i cant stop it, this makes me feel weak/dumb, this makes me angry and depressed and the thoughts enter that cycle. im losing my grip on reality and i just want to feel better, can anyone help me?
Hi there, I'm sorry that you're feeling like this. I have had feelings like this before and it sounds like you need a way to release your anxiety. Do you workout at all? Go for a run ever or anything?
the work that i do is fairly physical but other then that i have a really hard time motivating myself to do anything much less work out, but im guna try really hard this week to start working out
I'm sorry the listeners here haven't provided the help that you were looking for. I encourage you to keep trying. Take a look at the ratings people have given, and I would hope they steer you towards people that are being empathetic.
That is one thing here: we don't give advice. We are only here to give you someone to talk to and provide support for whatever you're going through. You can look at the Self-help pages as well, which have some great information. I haven't looked at the Depression one yet, but it's the next on my list.
Here's the Depression Self-help guide.
