I'm not getting better

6 Replies

I don't know how else to help myself at this point. My anxiety and depression have just taken over. I've tried everything in the book to feel better. Each day I feel lower and lower... I want to stop crying. I want to feel normal.

I can relate to how you feel. Fighting our mental health (I have anxiety & depression too) is exhausting.

Unfortunately, the battle doesn't end.

But there is light . . . circumstances will change.

At some point you will try something & it will help.

You said you've tried everything. From my experience, there are strategies out there that we may have not learned about yet.

Do you like YouTube videos?

I can recommend a wonderful guy who tells it like it is. His videos are short, to the point, and really comforting.

Let me know if you're interested.

Sending you love & light.

Hi vb,

Douglas Bloch is a mental health educator. He has a ton of videos on his YT channel, many of them are even shorter than this one.

I will try & remember to get a few more to you after I've had a chance to pick them out.

I’m sorry you feel like this but I am a big believer in time heals all and you will not feel like this forever. Maybe we will always have struggles but there will be good days too.

Surround yourself with positive people, list things you are grateful for! Spend time with pets ( I find animals really do help me).

it’s sucks, trust me I know. But hang in there.

I know this is a cliche statement but it DOES get better. I remember having nights laying in bed clutching onto my aching chest thinking the anxiety would never and the depression sticks around forever. Fortunately not only is it not true but I've learned to enjoy things to the fullest again. It definitely can be an inconvenience at times but I still live life to the fullest and I'm certain you'll get out of this slump and start enjoying life again. The lows may go low but then they stop because there's nowhere lower to go. And then things go up and up. All will be alright.
