Exhausted

[Overcomer06]

Hi, I’m Jay. These past couple of years have been tough, exhaustingly tough. It’s kind of hard to face depression and anxiety when you don’t have anyone to sit down and try to understand how your feeling. People feel as if depression is a phase and it’s not. I wish people could understand. I honestly feel alone but I hope this helps me cope with it better.

What sort of issues or symptoms are you having?

Sorry you are going through this, maybe you could try showing those close to you some websites that describe the type of depression you are going through? Reading medical articles explaining how depression can be clinical and ongoing might help them understand what you are living with. I hope you can get some relief.

It is you’re not alone. Therapy and constant trying is exhausting too. And watching funny shows... like changing your life daily around it so you don’t get triggered by environmental.. it’s a full time job

Yes depression is not a phase. A lot just have the lack of knowledge to understand it. Some people I know deny to themselves that they have depression and other mental illness for fear of being judged as crazy.

Hi Jay, I know the feeling all to well and being alone does make it so difficult. Hopefully having us to talk to will help alleviate that for you. I've even taken to talking to people on Xbox just to have someone to talk to sometimes. It can help when you don't have anyone in your life, or anyone who understands at least.

I know the feeling. I have been dealing with depression and anxiety sense I was in grade school. I'm 48 now. The feeling of anxiety or depression coming on still scares me. I can't take a break from my responsibilities so dealing with everything feels exhausting at times.
