Hello
Hello everyone! My name is Heather. I’m new to this platform and still getting used to how everything works but wanted to just tell you all how I’ve been feeling as of late and maybe someone else is going through the same thing. Coping mechanisms are welcomed.
Ive always been a pretty independent strong willed person. But for the past few months I just feel like in the past 10 years I’ve lost my true self along the way. I don’t know how to be me anymore if that makes sense. I don’t know how to let myself be happy. How to make choice to put my happiness first when I know it will affect so many people around me. I’m lonely. I’m tired. I have one friend but sadly we don’t get to talk anymore. I just don’t know what to do. How do I find myself again? How do I move forward? I’m constantly depressed and unmotivated. Life is weighing on me more and more every single day.
anyways if anyone feels the same way or can help guide me into a better direction I’m all ears.

Hi, Heather :)
I really liked how you put it "weighing me down". I feel like that sentiment describes perfectly how it feels to live with a depressed lifestyle. I feel like, "finding oneself" is hard for people with depression due to how hard it is to keep trying.
For me, living with depression means to love life, but struggling really hard to find anything to love. I saw a bit of solace in knowing that finding oneself is not in seeking, but in living. Live, and I apologize if this sounds discouraging, but don't try.
I hope this helped somewhat, keep going :)
