Trying to find someone that understands my depression and all the things that comes with it.
@ASilentObserver Trying to be consistent with my responsibilities in life. Healing isn't liner, but life always goes on. It can be hard for me to keep up when there are good days and bad days. Its hard to keep consistent at my job, school, even housework.
Dealing with my illnesses. I think I'm managing fairly well, but still this is probably one of the biggest factors that puts my mental health at risk, plus it's an ongoing thing that affects my lifestyle.
Getting up and doing something instead of being in bed all day depressed
my family, despite trying their best to understand it, still somehow doesnt get the vast impact some of my disorders have on me as a person,and my everyday life, and i dont think they realize how their treatment of me because of that has affected me growing up.
Not to punish myself for it. I hold myself to some impossible standard and then beat myself up for not achieving it.
That and the isolation. I cant explain what depression feels like, and nobody can understand what your feeling without going through it themselves.
Its incredibly lonely.

I can relate to that... Send you a big hug!
For sure when I finally reach out after people tell constantly me they're here to support me - I always keep to myself - and then they always betray, leave, and hurt me

Oh, I know that feeling ... and when I call them out on it, they try to walk that back saying they really dont understand social anxiety and having to be compassionate to someone who struggles with it. 🙄
My favorite one is ... I really dont understand why youre so depressed ... whats the big deal?, or, Arent you being too sensitive?. I always end up rolling my eyes when I hear those misperceptions. 🙄
Is that people live in denial. I have heard "Just snap out of it." or "Now is not the time to be depressed."

Sometimes my coworkers tell me, Think positive! when Im constantly faced with other coworkers (including those who are my friends) leaving for other jobs with mountainous workloads every day and a high chance of instrument errors. All of this leads to short tempers and more stress, so my reply is, Im done thinking positive ... Im thinking realistic.. 😀
I struggle with sorting out my emotions and trying to talk to people about them. I am really working hard on opening up to people and getting help. I need to teach myself that it is ok to trust people and for others to help me.

It's not o.k. to trust people. Pay a professional.
@GoldenChance
You're welcome to believe that, but please keep opinions of others to your self. Thoughtfulness and respect for other peoples choices is greatly appreciated in this space.
I struggle with being able to allow people in, I struggle to connect with others, I have a hard time trusting anyone, as of previous experiences.
But I am here if anyone at all want to talk about any situation or subject ☺️
