Not a good day.

[me3mae]

I'm beat. I can't get out of today's funk. I have anxiety, depression, and codependency issues. It all came crashing down a month ago, ended up selling harming and in psych hospital, and I left my job as it was a major cause of emotional stress. I have applied for over 20 jobs, a bit half hearted. If I don't have a job soon I'll be giving up my appartment and going to my sister's basement. I have been going to therapy. It helps some what, but I feel really lost. I don't want to call a crisis line because I'm not suicidal or close to harming myself, but I have no one to talk to.

Sometimes life seems to be moving so fast it's hard to get our feet underneath us. Idk if that's what's happening with you, but it sounds like you have a lot going on right now. Job, apartment, basement and all under the umbrella of your anxiety and depression.

Maybe a move with your sister can be a good thing. Settle in, catch your breath, get a healthy job, save some money, build a solid foundation and then move out.

Sometimes a step back is a step in the right direction. Be easy on yoyrself, you're human.

Hi, I'm sorry you are feeling alone. I can sympathize with that. Even if I'm with people, I feel so isolated and alone. Like the poster below me said though, maybe moving in with your sister could be a good thing. Living with someone definitely helps the feelings of perpetual loneliness. It could be one thing off your back so you can focus on healing and finding a job that may not cause you so much stress. Hang in there!

Life sounds tough. Well done for not self harming again even though things are difficult that's really good. Are you in the uk if so there's the Samaritans. They are great to talk to and are there 24 hrs a day. I'm guessing you don't feel yup can talk to your sister too much about everything? Is the anyone that can help you find work? Or is there an agency you can join. I don't know what sort of work you do but sometimes admin agencies can keep you working enough hours to keep in top of bills even if it's not full time or the money you would like. However living with your sister might help if you get on ok. Being lonely is the worst when you are depressed as we never have the energy to get out and about so end up cut off.. Everything will sort itself out, it just might take a little time. Keep going and trust that whatever happens you will be ok

I haven't been able to get out of my funk either & it's starting to really affect my relationship with my man because I'm perceiving things through my depression and anxiety rather than seeing the reality. Take a day off to do something fun, either with a friend or by yourself. get your adrenaline rush at a theme park, that's what I do because it's easier to sit on a scary rollercoaster and scream my lungs off than to get into my running gear and go exercise. either way it will release your happy endorphins, so will masturbation lol. a hit of weed if you're not opposed to that, medical marijuana in small amounts have RLY helped me on the days I feel worthless or hopeless or unlovable. watch some stand up comedy- trust me. and put on some earphones and listen to good music. believe me, I know how you feel. I forced myself to go out yesterday while I was in a funk & tried to get out of my comfort zone and ended up feeling like a failure and instantly regret leaving my house lol it happens. but the feeling DOES go away. pray. meditate. talk. journal. connect. have faith <33 love you!

also maybe you could use a spa day, get a facial, massage, sit in a jacuzzi, do some stretching or yoga, sit in a sauna and try to clear your head, or get a make over, and my personal favorite-- change your look, get a haircut or hair dye & just start over (: PAMPER YOURSELF. do things that make you happy & if not happy then at least something that makes you feel 'not crappy' lol

The best advice I ever got for my own funks was to take deep breaths and stay in the moment. It helped me to focus on what was happening right now and to calm down. Sometimes my thoughts get racing ahead and thinking of the worst that can happen, rather than focusing on just getting through the day and doing what I can right now to make things better. I hope things get better for you soon but it is nice to know that you have a backup plan at your sister's.
