i need some advice. what am i supposed to do when i don't want to do the thing i used to love most? i used to always go ride my horse because that was my favorite thing to do and then i got depressed and now it's like i don't even want to see them. i'm not close with my friends anymore, i never want to get out and go anywhere. i'm not motivated to do anything. i've tried to overdose and i've cut before. i've tried to runaway. i just.. i dont know what to do at this point.

Have you tried therapy? Or talking to someone about how youre feeling and what you're going through?

Hi sorry to hear this. It's hard to give you any advice without knowing your age. How old are you please?

Hi Aubree,

I know exactly how you are feeling. I just recently had to resign from my job due to sever chronic pain and trying to get off opioid pain meds so I am

Always trying to find alternatives, I live in NC and marijuana isn't legal here for medicinal or otherwise but I have a friend that gets me this run that contains all natural ingredients to include active THC, long story short I believe my doctor tipped off my boss (we both worked for same company) and they forced me to take a pee test. I knew it would be positive since the one I took to get my pain meds came back positive so rather than be fired I resigned. I don't feel I didn't anything wrong as I wasn't smoking it just rubbing it on my back as a means for pain control. That was about 3 weeks ago, I've been in a serious state of depression since.. I can't eat all I want to do is sleep, I'm unmotivated, I rather be alone than around people. I've always been outgoing and a social butterfly but not so much the last few years and more so now that I have no job. I want to move away from my town cause it's small and no real job opportunities but my savings is dwindling and that just makes everything more overwhelming. I try to journal and get my feelings out, I cry A LOT but most wouldn't know because I fake it. I just want you to know you're not alone. This is a tough world we are living in and small everyday stressors definitely don't help. I say force yourself to go out, I did that last night and spent time with a good friend. But I'll admit I was happy to get back home to my comfort zone... I wish you luck. And again you're not alone we are all struggling with something but thankfully none of us are alone and reaching out is the first step!! Much love dear!
