Paralyzed by depression

[GoldenMandy]

I've had constant and extreme financial fears, anxiety, and stress in my adult life that I'm pretty sure has caused me to sink into depression. I am scared to spend any money and fear that

Can depression traumatize and paralyze me from living my life - can't work, isolate, toxic family relationships, and feeling, alone, helpless, stuck and so unbearably horrible and painful deep down inside that I must find a way out or put myself out of my misery. I hurt only going through the daily motions and can't stand it.

This is where I'm at and don't know how to get out of depression hell. Is it possible? How? I know that changing my environment would help - but can't get out. I desperately need answers and help. How do I turn this depression around and start living again? Thank you for any help you can give me. Dee Anne

I see this is your first post so I would like to welcome you to the community.

There's no one size fits all answer to getting back on our feet and out of our depression.

Depression pulled the rug right out from under me. So yes, it can change your whole life.

You need to try and make small changes and push yourself a bit.

Do you have a therapist

Hi Mandy. Welcome to the community. I hope you'll find it helpful. I've struggled for many years with depression and anxiety. Have you been to the docter to try to get some support and help. Or ring them up if you're unable to go out at the moment. I sent for years trying to cope with it myself . It might be a good first step to take. Also I find listening to music helpful and being in nature. Try to do things that you like, bit of self care. One day at a time is all we can do 💜💜🫂🫂
