So alone...

[Tommysft]

Hi, i am new here. This is the first time I have done anything like this. Normally i just journal. I don’t know where to begin. I suffer from severe depression and most days are really hard for me. I’m not sure what i am suppose to do here. Any suggestions would be great

Hi welcome to the community! I'm glad you're here, and alot of people on here can definitely relate. How are you doing, today?

[Tommysft in reply to Hidden]

Today isn’t as bad as others.. but even the not so bad days are still bad

[Hidden in reply to Tommysft]

I'm sorry you're going through that. How long has this been going on for you?

[Tommysft in reply to Hidden]

Its been going on since 2012, but has increasingly getting worse

[Hidden in reply to Tommysft]

Have you seen a doctor to see what they recommend? Meds suck, I'm on Zoloft. But I'm wayyyy better on something than when I'm not. Do you have any outlets beside journaling that you can try to maybe ease some of the depression?

[Tommysft in reply to Hidden]

I’m on meds,,, they don’t work real well for me.

[Sisqo in reply to Tommysft]

Give it a try let me know how it is you can download some free apps on Apple and Google

It's okay if you can't get your mind to quit. Practice with meditation will help.

Try a mantra, like "It is okay" and keep repeating it in your mind. It helps me. ♡
