I’m going through it and I can’t seem to gather it all

[JVasquez4l]

So I’ve ran out of antidepressants because I’m too broke to get anymore and honestly I’m feeling like such a broken record. I don’t know how to feel about the situation I’ve been in.

I’m just feeling not happy and I have this terrible mindset that I’ll die whenever cause it is what it is.

My anxiety has been crashing like hard waves and my depression has stabbed right through me. I’m not sure how I’m functioning to be honest

Hi JVasquez4l,When I feel that way, I try to allow the feelings to do what they’re doing— “crash over me like waves” as you say. Remind yourself it is just that and each one will pass. Take little walks, read a bit, do things you need to do in small doses and take time to surrender. I don’t know if that helps but that’s what I do. I haven’t been on antidepressants before though so I can’t imagine what the withdrawal symptoms would feel like. I’m so sorry you’re going through that and can’t afford this medication. Sending my best.

Thank you so much I’ve been doing things little by little but the withdrawals have been hard

I know there are social programs to help people get the medication they need. But honestly I don't know what they are.

There's a woman on YouTube, Tara Brach, who does meditations. She uses the acronym RAIN in several of them. "R" is recognize the feelings

"A" is allow them to happen

"I" is investigate where they're coming from

"N" is nurture, nurture yourself, be kind to yourself.

I am not some meditation 'guru', but found hers helpful at a time I needed them. Many are short and her voice is soothing.
