hello...
I have a problem and I hope you can help me with it...
I am 20 years old and I have majer depression and I feel that I have finished the world and there is nothing good to see and I have stopped going outside the house and I sleep and sleep and get tired and slim a lot because this thing affects me greatly and I do not know what to do. ??
I wish I could help but really what you need is a good friend and a lot of support and remember things do get better there is still a lot to see and do out in the world and there are always people out there that care about you my support is with you
hi i really relate to your feelings. im 21 and ive been kinda giving up on myself and it's been hard to even get myself to shower and i just feel like im kinda being lazy but i also really just dont see the point anymore in doing things! im in college but ive really let go of my assignments and not doing as well now. and ive not been really seeing any former friends bc i feel either uninterested or ashamed of myself. ive mostly been staying in my dorm in my bed and sleeping, too.
Same. 21 and at university but i can't do assignments, i sleep all day, i sleep even at class, don't go out, basically have no friends, can't take care of myself, can't prepare food and shower. It's really hard. How are you now?
Hi mahasen. I can really relate to the feelings you are having as well. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing someone out there cares about me. I care about you! I know I don't know you whatsoever but its refreshing to hear from time to time!
Hi. I'm in something similar. I'm 21 and doing the same. Don't be hard on yourself, it's normal to feel that way in this world and in this autumn - winter season. I personally get really worse at autumn. Also it's really hard to take care of self but when not it makes us feel worse. It's really hard but you're not alone. Hold on it will end. Meanwhile take care of self, maybe Black chocolate and small walks on sun for begging. Or something else
I feel the same way, bit older not in school. Just find no interest in anything anymore and see no point in anything really .I keep telling myself it will get better, but I've done that for years and it hasn't really . Guess ya just gotta look at the little things in life and hope it's enough. Sorry to you all going through this awful feeling.
Is major depressive disorder your diagnosis or do feel majorly depressed right now? I was you age when I got diagnosed and when I did exactly as you are describing. I was away at college and had no one to help me…pre-internet. I don’t know where you are at, but I am near Chicago. The daylight is gone by 4 pm at this time of year. The good news is that you will come out of the funk, like coming up for a breath of air. When it happens, grab onto it. Use some of that time to set yourself up with something to do if and when it happens again. Mine was some sort of puzzle…academic or jigsaw. I just needed to use my brain and distract me from the funk.
We are all here to catch you, so keep posting. Find things each day to be grateful for, big or small…one or ten…spoken out loud or written in a journal. I used to call my journals “letters to no one” because they would never be sent, but I vented, I was sarcastic, I was sad, I was grateful.
Welcome to this supportive page.
Welcome to the Community. We are a supportive bunch and will do all we can to help.
First can I ask why you think you have seen all the world has to offer?
Why won't you leave the house; is it fear? let me say that you need Vitamin D, and You can only get that by getting out in daylight, as your body makes it by the action of sunlight on the skin.
Sleeping all the time and laying in bed will steal your muscle tone, to the point where you won't be able to get up, your bones will thin and will spontaneously break, You need to move. See your Doctor, this is not at all healthy.
The world is a beautiful place, get up and out in it and you will start to feel more hopeful, I promise.
Cheers, Midori
I can only tell you what helps me. Get 6-8 hours of sleep each night. Do 30-60 minutes of cardio exercise daily to produce endorphins and seratonin we lack. Do the Wim Hof guided breathing exercises free on you tube. Do it before you get out of bed . Do it 3-4 times throughout the day if you need more. It’s all intense mouth breathing not nose breathing. There is nothing wrong with deep nose slow breathing too, but Wim Hof is all mouth breathing. Here comes the game changer take a 5 minute pure cold shower daily. Go see your family doctor too. We all get stuck in life and need things to get and keep us on track.
I wish I knew what to tell you, but I will say that you have your youth working on your side..however depression is depression, it doesn't matter what age, I suffer with it, sleep is the only escape, please take care
Aww! So so sad to hear this. No one should feel this way. Pls and pls talk to loved ones and, talk to your gp/doctor, I'm sure they are happy to help. Also, therapy does help as well.
Pls Mahesen, help yourself.
You can get better - one step at a time. Each day think or do one positive thing for someone else. Simple things. Open a door for someone. Pay it forward. Say a prayer for someone - for their day to go well. Keep a journal of those things. Look back after a month or so and see how much good you are doing! That will help you get out of bed and feel better about your life. You can do this! God Bless!
