Feel like giving up

I don’t know what to do. My live-in boyfriend and I just broke up, and I’m feeling pretty hopeless right now. Don’t know what the future is going to hold for me at all. Don’t know if I’ll have a house to live is when this is all said and done. To make matters worse I just started my medication and my thoughts are just racing and I feel so alone right now

hey there! i know it’s hard right now. but just stop and let everything go. don’t think about what’s going to happen in the future, think about now. take everything one day at a time. write down all the things that are worrying you now and let them go. you will deal with them when the times comes and it will work out as long as you believe it will. i know it sounds easier said than done but just try to take it one day at time, you never know what the future holds

Try to take just one step at a time. If you need to stop and take some deep breaths, do that.

You are not alone. Hang out here as long as you want. People here have been through similar things, and we are here for you.

I agree with kayeyevee. You need to slow down and take the near future one day at a time and one task at a time. You are very young, and you have plenty of time to correct things and get back on the path in life that you want.

My doc says antidepressants take 6-8 weeks to start working, so please be patient.

Just remember that how you feel right now will not last. It will get better and you need to just take one day at a time and focus on getting through each day as they come. My heart goes out to you.
