Feeling very sad :'(

[Natasha2370]

I'm lying in bed under my cover crying so much because I don't even know where to start 😢 I have had depression since I was 15 and social anxiety and its grew worse now (I am now 21) last year it got worse and I didn't get any coursework done on my last course in university because I was really depressed and I feel that it will happen again this year on my new course I've joined because I still feel depressed I thought this would be a fresh start for me but I don't think I'm mentally doing ok to even be studying right now. My family don't know about my depression because i didn't tell them cause they don't understand mental health issues so I've kept it to myself. Due to social anxiety I don't have any friends either. Last year I didn't sleep well and cried a lot at night and my under eyes have gone darker and I look very tired since last year because I haven't been ok since then. I've never felt more alone in my entire life than I do now and I've let myself down. I can't stop crying.

Hi Natasha. I emphathize with this post very strongly. I've been dealing with many of the same issues myself, especially social anxiety. It makes you feel like there's some insurmountable barrier preventing you from being social, even when you desperately want to be. As someone who battles this unexplainable phenomenon, I can be your friend.

Hi I'm sorry to hear you are suffering so much. Isn't there a school counsellor whom you can see? I think you need to find someone to talk to who can help guide you.

I agree with hypercat. Also I'm not sure if you're getting outdoors but the outdoors snd sunshine will help too.🌻
