how to not be depressed?

Every single day feels like a war . So hard to concentrate on what I am doing. I want to get good grades but cant make myself to start studying . I get horrible dreams. And everything looks like its impossible to accomplish. My heart is empty and mind distracted and brain tiered

Hey cloud I’ll start off by saying welcome to the community I myself am new I signed up and made my first post yesterday and I felt some weight lifted after the positive responses I got from people here who understand and deal with the same things in the daily or have dealt with it in the past I hope the response I give along with others can do the same for you.

In my opinion I don’t think there is a simple answer to your question, school is a rollercoaster the pressure you feel from trying to get good grades and figure out what you want to do when you’re done all while trying make friends and deal with bullies and potential heartbreaks is immense. I dealt with the same things when i was in school I had my bullies throughout school it got better as time went on and I stood up for myself when needed but I felt myself having to less and less as I moved into a higher grade. I dealt with people trying to tell me what I had to do for a career due to my grades which led to my own self doubt and the career they weighed me down mentally and physically. The best advice I feel I can give is what got me through it and that’s take it day by day find something that helps you drown it out for a bit for me it was music I liked to put my headphones in and focus on the song. I hope it helps just knowing that this community is full of people who can understand what you’re feeling and I hope for you and me and everyone here it helps them find some clarity or some relief that they seek. I also want to share a quote you may know it you may not but I feel it helps motivate me to move forward day after day.

Thank you so much. Your words have lifted a lot of heavy weight from my chest. I didn't thought that anyone would reply to my post. But thank you so much for thinking that I am worthy enough for this healing reply. ☺

“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!”
