I want to give up

I’m 52, have lived alone since last October, I suffer depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, eupd and Trigeminal Neuralgia, I can go weeks without seeing or speaking to anyone. Been under the crisis team recently, but they’re a short term involvement. I’m ashamed at how I live but no motivation or care to change. So, so tired of fighting to just exist let alone live 😢😢😢

So sorry to hear this, How are you feeling now?

Have things began to improve since you created this post?

One thing that might help is to take baby steps. The baby step could be to exercise for 10 minutes a day! Or buy a treadmill and use it for 5 minutes a day. It could be to start a blog so you can start writing or to make videos on YouTube.

Maybe you could start gardening.

Do you have any safe friends or family that you can do things with too as I’ve found that if I’m with my mum or my brother I feel less afraid to go places or to do things.

You are really loved and valued and your life has purpose, you can overcome even if it’s hard.

A woman’s videos that really helped me with going for it in life is Terri Savelle Foy!

She speaks a lot about visualising your dreams and making your dreams come true. Sometimes we need to see it then it happens gradually.

Here’s her channel: youtu.be/Z2RqkZ1PsJY

Hope it helps. 🙏🏽😇🤗
