Today my depression is at a...
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst, where would you rank your depression?
What is one thing you can do today to find some joy? Even if it is just for a moment?

Actually not that bad. I was surrounded be my friends and the only time I felt depression-y is when I screwed up, talked too loud, or felt like I was being too aggressive. That sounds like a lot (lol) but it was canceled out be the good things
Probably a 10
Hi. ..I feel totally clutered with my mind and don't feel like doing anything
@neonLake1078 I experience thoughts that paralyze me and prevent me from doing or taking actions that I want. My mind is just full of thoughts. And they paralyze me. That's when I need to relax. That is a sign to me that I am anxious. So I need to use all the tools I know for relaxing. I cannot move forward until I use my tools to relax.

Um... idk lol, 10 I guess. Dying would be better than continuing.
@AutumnKatze
I believe I understand how you felt. I hope you got some sleep.I understand being in so much psychological pain that you believe that being dad would be better than continuing. I really identified with your post. I have felt that way. So I wanted to reach out to you to let you know that what you are feeling is temporary. It does not have to be your future. It is not forever. Things do change. In time you will learn skills and tools to help you get out of the way you feel right now. For now I would suggest you work on acceptance. Acceptance and Hope trust. Accept how you feel but recognize it as an illness like the flu. You feel bad. If you feel bad treat yourself kindly as if you have the flu. If you had a physical illness you would rest and treat yourself kindly until it passed.
Accept your mental illness. Accept the feeling. Know that your mind is giving you false messages right now. Thinking that you want to die is could not completely accurate you want to escape the pain. Hang in there treat yourself nice.
Its been pretty high for awhile. But... Im taking steps to change that.
For the past two weeks, it's been at an 8, going on 9. Before that i was steady at a 5. Last night was a 10, but today I'm back down at 8.
It's okay. It's up and down
