New Here And First Time Reaching Out

Hello,

This is my first time posting here and first time reaching out. I've been really struggling a lot mentally for over 2 years now, and it's getting worse. I've been unemployed for over a year and a half, and people closest to me are calling me lazy and a bum. It's been so hard to find any motivation for anything, even as simple as getting out of bed, so getting a job would be super tough. I hate being seen as lazy when I'm fighting so hard to even live. I don't know what to do anymore as the money I had saved is almost gone and I'm just so tired. I sleep almost the whole day, because of me being tired and I also use sleep as an escape from my life. I've also felt so alone in this time and have no one who I feel comfortable talking to. This is the lowest I've been and I can't find a way out.

Thanks for reading.

In the midst of mental health struggles, it’s difficult to find the energy to get anything done.

I’m sorry some people don’t understand that. We’re here for you<3💜

I used sleep as an escape when i was young .... when i get ill or something people will not be so judge i sleep as much as i can ..........

So today i overslept when i told myself i would get up and do things i realize this is part of my pattern and NOW i have to monitor myself Force myself to get up / do things and move on

Reality time whatever we use to escape alcohol/ drugs or even sleep ............ we are wasting one of the most precious gifts we have .... TIME

i imagine all the things i could have done.... and kick myself
