Depressed

[NobodyXIII]

I feel like everything around me is falling apart. I have no sense of self anymore and I feel so drained. I feel like I am nothing and it really sucks

Keep urself busy and shift ur attention to what u can do for others. That helps me at least. Sometimes I get so caught up in what I feel that loose sight of how many people around me might feel similar and could use some love too. Helping others gives me a sense of value when I feel worthless.

List one good thing about yourself.

I challenge my thoughts: what evidence do I have that thoughts are true? DBT skills help too, wise mind, mindfulness, self soothe. Distraction is great too. I still get sucked into depression. I am struggling right now too! Take it one minute at a time if you need. Feel better! I am fighting right with you! ❤️

Me too, I feel the same way. Sometimes it's toxic people in our lives that make our circumstances seem worse than they are.

NobodyXIII,

Those are your feelings not the truth. Accept your feelings but know that they are constantly changing.

Try logging your feelings in just a few sentences every morning then every night before you go to sleep as an experiment for you to reflect on and see just how often they change. You are more than your feelings!
