Good morning guys!! So i stumbled across this website looking online for help with my depression and saw this!! Im still getting in the hang of things, i would like to stay anonymous for personal reasons of course but i will tell you guys a little bit about myself because im guessing this is how it works?? Haha.. Well im 20 Years old, Just made 20 June 11th, i have a 1yr old daughter that means the WORLD to me, i was enrolled in college for about 7 months but i took a leave because my depression kind of took control of me and ever since then it kinda seems like my life has just been spiraling out of control and i dont know how to get back in control of things. Some days i wake up i feel so good inside and out and somedays i can barley get out of bed... I feel so alone and empty inside but im so young and have so much to live for i dont understand why i feel this way.. I havent gotten a goodnight sleep in months for some reason either, the longest im able to sleep is maybe for 4 hours and then im back up.. alone with my thoughts... i dont it just gets so hard sometimes.... I dont know what to do. sorry if i bugged anyone with this long post its just so much on my mind not sure what to do anymore...

Don’t apologize! I’m glad you’re here! Welcome to this forum! If you’re like me, you will love it! So many genuine people here that are willing to help 👩‍🔧

I can empathize with your feelings...I cannot allow myself to dwell on the past or the future...that kind of thinking only produces more misery, depression, and anxiety. I try to live in today only, concentrating on the tasks that I have control over now. Otherwise, let it go and place on the back burner for another day! Prioritize that mess and work your way down, using baby steps as needed! Some organization will help. Don’t worry about the things in which you have no control 🙂 I hope you find some peace of mind...

Hi! I'm new here too and I haven't got a good night sleep for 5 years. I am scared of going out because I feel people judge me . I have no energy, I spend most of my days in bed and I feel miserable. Congratulations for your daughter ! Kids are amazing and supportive, I know that because I work as a teacher since 2009. You are not alone. You said everything I didn't dare to say about myself so thank you for your post. It's amazing. It made me feel let's just say not so lonely anymore.
