Giving up

Never thought I'd feel this way but I've been feeling this bout of depression and anxiety and hopelessness and loneliness for over 4 months. I was trying walking, went back to school, have no friends and feel like doing nothing. The basic things feel impossible. I'm on meds but not feeling any better and have tried so many be cause of the side effects I have been unable to tolerate. I was really hoping to find an in person support group to make real connections but haven't found any. This is the first time in my life that I doubt I'll ever feel better. My therapist doesn't know how to help anymore either. I feel alone.

I know it’s hard. But it will work out. I promise. Nothing lasts forever

You're not alone, welcome, we can all relate, I am battling feeling inadequate at work and abandonment and rejection from my spouse. Keep your head up, take it one day at a time, one task at a time.

I understand what you're going through. Something that's been getting me through the day is-keeping trying your best until you feel your best. I'm here if you need someone to talk to xx

It may be that you're on the verge of becoming something more. Emotional growth usually begins when we become dissatisfied with where we are. Rather than push your emotions away try accepting and feeling them. See where they lead you. If your therapist hasn't mentioned this I'd look for another. Finding a therapist with whom you can relate can take several tries.

I know exactly how you feel. I am looking for an in-person support group too but not having any luck. Try to hang in there because you never know.

Hang on there. Lots of people here in similar situations. Just shout out if you’d like regular PM support / correspondence. I know it’s not in person- but it’s helpful to know people are taking the time to see how you are and correspond. 👍👍👍

The basic things are impossible to do. You read my mind. I am in a similar situation. I understand even taking a shower is hard to do. I’m getting worse each day. What you’re feeling and what you’re going through is very common with mental illness. And it’s a very relatable thing. You are not alone with what you’re going through. It’s hard to do this, but you gotta keep trying new therapy methods and medication. I try to research different things to keep me going. Supplements, oils, light stretching, even looking into ECT. I’m doing TMS and it got such great reviews. I need to have more faith in it. But the point I’m trying to make, is there are things out there and you gotta keep trying them until something works. My heart goes out to you. I really understand everything you are feeling. I’m always here for you and sending lots of hugs and love your way 🤗❤️
