Finding the good

[ImInTroubleAgain]

I often focus on everything negative and get myself to a point of feeling like I will never have anything I want in life. My wants are not material but rather relationships with people. I want a best friend, a family, and a network. I cry about being 35 and not having a family. I no longer seek career success. I don’t want to work. If work is the only thing that flares my anxiety; why even bother. I’d rather be somewhere loving the world than working myself to death.

Hello. I also suffer from severe depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. The combo is enough to make anyone feel sick. The Depression is tricky. I have been stuggling with it for almost 20 years and still have a hard time managing it. I try to stay busy also and go to the gym to get outta my head and improve my body. It does help most of the time but I still struggle and I am also under a Therapist snd dr's care, get ECT treatments, practice mindfulness,etc. and still have horrible, guilty, miserable feelings of depression everyday. It's hard. But you are definitely not alone. That's why we are all here. Try and have a great day. I'm sure you are a wonderful person. It's the depression making you think that you are all those bad things. Try not to let it get the best of you. Try to focus on all the things that you see and feel that are good about yourself. I'm turning 40 this year and could care less. It's just a number. I've been told that I don't look anywhere near 40 and I don't feel 40, well some days. lol I stopped working also do to the depression and anxiety. It's really tough to manage. And the guilt and self hatred of not being able to work like the average person pisses you off and kills your pride but don't let it ruin your life. When it's beautiful outside, I suck up the sun, ride my bike to and through the park with my music on of course and lay in the grass. So relaxing. I suddenly don't have a care in the world. Sometimes it's the smallest, simplest thing that can help you tremendously. Try to have a great day! Best wishes.🤗
