Rock bottom
Looking for advice from people on how to get better when I feel like I've hit rock bottom.
I have some good things going for me in my life, and I find that I exhibit "high functioning depression", in the sense that I usually keep work/responsibilities going, but as soon as I have a moment to myself, it seems that I crash. I'm also a highly sensitive person, I feel like I cry a lot more lately, and I don't have the energy to do anything really that I actually want to do (like hobbies).
I'm having a particularly difficult year so far in 2025, and I feel like I have hit rock bottom multiple times. Any advice is appreciated!

Hello, When I was feeling way out of balance and my thoughts were mixed up, I sought out help and I feel like the medications along with the past 5 years of therapy plus 4-5 years using 7Cups was the right combination because I lived it, talked about it, processed it with others daily, and came to grips with so many things (I struggled with before then). It's hard to guess what's going on with you but you are in the right place, and you may need to add a therapist and a psychiatrist (because they prescribe the helpful medications). You will feel better, but take a proactive approach towards focusing on your Self-Care! We all give great advice but most of us still need to learn to take our own advice. I have severe PTSD and have some tuff symptoms daily but the depression has eased up, and my anxiety used to be debilitating, but now has been managed for a couple of years. I hope you feel better soon. Talk it out with a Listener on 7Cups and try some basic art therapy, I'm involved in 2 art therapy classes online that were free because I'm a veteran. Be kind to yourself.
Blessings, Day
