In search of support, and community

[NAVARRAC]

Hello,

I wanted to reach out here on this forum in the hopes of finding a bit of support. This is not easy for me to do.

Despite having supportive friends and family, it is difficult to relate the particular difficulties I am experiencing at the moment, as none of these people are experiencing them.

I’ve experienced a consistent recurrence of low mood over the past year despite many efforts pursuing and implementing science based interventions to mitigate this. These include ongoing work with a competent psychiatrist, psychologist, CBT, TMS, daily exercise, proper sleep hygiene, proper nutrition, and a number of other things.

I have really committed over the past year and poured my best efforts into addressing the mood issues, and ultimately have not succeeded to this point.

This is frustrating because life is transient, and i am unable to connect with the people i love, or experience enjoyment during these periods of low mood.

There is also an element of fear that arises, because I have experienced more severe difficulties in the past, that have caused me to end up in the hospital, and lose control of my actions, causing suffering to myself and the people i care about.

My hope is that ill find a bit of community and relatability here; that can seem so elusive at times.

Hopefully ill be able to provide useful support to others as well.
