My depression and anxiety and PTSD stop me from doing a lot of stuff I use to enjoy am sitting here thinking would I ever be normal I just want to travel work and go back to school is a big world out here and I want to be a part of it

Maybe you are normal. I can’t do a lot of the things that I used to do, so now I do other stuff. Think of things that you can do and get doing. The all or nothing attitude mostly results in doing nothing. Our expectations can be giant road blocks, at least mine can be.

Am on disability

[gerg in reply to tamka38]

So you can do nothing?

[tamka38 in reply to gerg]

My body hurts all the time and everyday am struggling with something

[gerg in reply to tamka38]

It sounds like you are unhappy because you can’t do things, but you won’t try to do things. That is a viscous circle that can be broken.

[tamka38 in reply to gerg]

I want to do things but I let my anxious and depression take over

Don't hesitate any longer , even if it's out of your comfort zone, just do it and you may have some anxiety , but it WILL disappear and you will have great accomplishment at the end of the day. When you don't take that risk, it's even more depressing , so get out there and have some fun even if you force it. Let me know how it goes

U right is just hard right now and am drinking

[Lynl in reply to tamka38]

I'm not opposed to having a drink but please don't drink for those reasons , you will soon have two problems and it will make everything worse in the long run. Please go and talk to a doctor and see what they can do also keep in touch with us for support but using alcohol as a bandaid is going to make things way worse for you, also you won't even be enjoying the things that you're doing so please take my advice and don't do that and please go get some help from a doctor hello let me know and keep in touch and how you were doing love and prayers and hugs
