I don't want to be depressed again

Hi, I guess I'm shouting this into the void.

I'm scarred I'm not strong enough to fight my way out of depression again.

I suffered depression in my early twenties. And getting out of it was hard. Harder than anything I've ever done.

It's coming up on 3 years since my last real relationship. My ex finished law school in those years, I lost 3 jobs. My life seems to have gone nowhere.

I try to remind myself that Covid was disruptive. But it just doesn't stick. I've struggled to get work in my field. And I feel so lost and pointless.

And having finally left home. I have no energy. I can't motivate my self to do anything I enjoy. And my depression keeps getting worse. I actually find myself missing Covid lock downs because at least then I had an excuse.

And I find myself asking over and over.

Am I strong enough to fight my way out this time?

You need to get help from others. friends, family, therapists, doctors, listeners, fellow 12 step members, whoever, please. People are social beings and you need it, too. If course it's hard to show up if depressed. I feel for you.
