Hi, Im sorry you ve been through so much. It sounds like you are getting through things day by day so well done for that. I read somewhere that things of getting through 1 minute at a time, and the hours and days will take care of themselves. If you are feeling lonely maybe you could try joining a group, perhaps an adult education course at the local centre is good or do some sports as this will raise your endorphin levels and get you out. Is there any creative hobbies that you used to enjoy as these can be calming too. Getting ot for a walk for 20 mins is even good as nature is calming. Even volunteering is a good way to get out and socialize more, it depends on what you feel up to. Don't push too hard, just build things up gradually.. Also if you like reading there are many books out there you might like to loose yourself in and also many that are for self care nowadays. Finally learning meditation or yoga is a good way of relaxing and calming the mind, even 5 minutes of anything you fancy. I like treating myself to a nice bath with some nice products to relax too, or if you can afford a nice back shoulder massage, which is comforting to mind and relaxing for your body. Be kind to yourself. I wish you all the best.

Very good suggested advice

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling so much. You really don’t deserve to. I have been struggling with my depression the last two months. I have gone to dark places multiple times and I never want to go back to them. With that said it is hard to keep it together every day. Keep fighting. You are strong and I believe in you. Take care. A better day will come

Hi DepressedKnow I am so sorry you are going through this. I wish there was more I could do to help.

Just know that you are not alone. We are all here.

I hope you are going to therapy and it helps you as much as it has been helping me.

I hope you feel better.

It WILL get better. Of course it's scary to feel this way. Right now you're feeling super low and everything feels insurmountable, right? Try to set aside all the big stuff, just temporarily, and focus in on just ONE thing you can do for yourself that brings you joy. I love baking and cooking. Or I take a brisk walk while listening to angry music. Or I find a quiet nature spot and play my guitar or just do some thinking, or crying. I'm sure you have a hobby or passion. Really immerse yourself in your activity for a few moments. It may not happen right away, but I'm confident you will feel some kind of relief. For me, sometimes I don't feel the good vibes until a couple hours later. Give yourself time, give gratitude for the positives in your life no matter how big or small.I hope you get well and find your peace! ❤️

You are not alone!

Get out whether you feel like it or not and do something you like to get your mind off it awhile. It always helps me.

Try to get out in fresh air, organise and do some tidying. Find yourself, again and enjoy nature. Watch youtube music just google and search
