I’m new to this, I’ve never reached out to anyone but my depression is suffocating. I want it to stop...I’ve always had anxiety but now with the depression its horrible. I just prefer to sleep all the time.

Yes I understand it’s vicious cycle. Hang in there we’re all in this together.

Thanks.

Hey Blue,

Yeah, I understand where you're at. Anxiety has been around since I was a teenager (I'm 35 going on maybe 19-ish) but depression with added life "stuff", it's quite a combo. I understand sleeping it all away because it's a place where, mostly, anxiety and depression can't get to you. That all said, as far as I know, we only live once and we should make the best or most of our time if at all possible. There are many things you can try if you're open to different venues (therapy, CBT, acupuncture, mindfulness, and more). I know it's easier to just sleep it off, but surely there is light in the distance if you begin to take steps towards it. Hope you're feeling as best as you can...I understand where you're at. Take care for now.
