Anxiety and depression

[Shancan80]

Why cant i just be happy why cant i get what i feel out of me ? Where are my coping skills ive been dealing with this since I was a little girl . Im so tired if feeling like this tired hopeless unmotivated i have came to the realization i will just feel like this forever and its how my life is... i cant even see the way out because of all the pain and hurt ive experienced prior

I feel very much the same. I have friends and family but I’m always alone.

I know i feel alone as well its like im just here going through the motions

I understand how you feel. I have a loving family, and a good job where I am treated well. Yet for some reason I often feel alone and of no to little value to anyone. I want to be motivated and improve things, but it is very hard to be.

One thing I do is that I keep reminding myself that no matter how bad it seems or feels it could always be much much worse.

Thanks for the advice I am going to do that try to remind myself when im low or having a panic attack

Hey Shancan, definitely all good questions to ask and I hope these questions will cause you to seek their answers. Are you working with a counselor?

[Shancan80 in reply to kvolm2016]

I am not workinf with a counselor because i cant afford one at the moment

[kvolm2016 in reply to Shancan80]

Yep I totally understand that counseling is not always an option financially. Especially if you are paying for school. This list of resources was shared with me so I thought I would pass it on to you as well: bit.ly/2hwXnqH

I think there may be somethings here that you would find helpful. Hope so!
