Depression/ life feels impossible and miserable. Self help
Ive always had anxiety which eventually led to me using drugs. Then I got in trouble which led to depression. Ive tried to stay away from illegal drugs but nothing really helps. I was optimistic that life would get better but after hearing more bad news, my hope has almost evaporated. I feel like Im labeled as trash and I cant relate to anyone nor should I try anymore. It seems like anxiety depression and legal trouble are so intertwined now that I cant move toward. For awhile I just tried to ignore reality, like by games or tv and other means but this doesnt help. Im at the point where I know I need to accomplish something but I cant succeed. Like getting a job, finishing college, getting my license back, etc. Id appreciate some advice on how others may handle my situation
@scandinavianraptor It would be nice if whatever I wrote could solve your depression and anxiety, but these things take time. But perhaps Johann is more eloqeunt than me and I'd recommend you watch his talk and it helped me a lot

Maybe you feel no motivation to get a job, finish college, get your license back and that's okay. There's no rush to life and if you feel shitty, there are reasons, valid reasons. I don't have a solution as said before, but I and others are willing to listen and support you so you don't have to feel alone.
