Depression

[Rily]

I have bad depression, don’t want to get out of bed and feel very scared about life. I’m stuck and have muscular dystrophy and bad anxiety. I’m feeling like not being here anymore and can’t handle life’s challenges. I’m fatigued all over and overly scared.

Don't give up your here on earth for a reason you just haven't found your calling yet, our world is a beautiful place to be and you matter very much, YouTube has some videos on depression and many that are uplifting that I use everyday, get out in the sun as much as possible and fight your way out of bed and outside just for a walk, put some ear buds in play your favorite music and start walking, you might not see it but others find great value in you and you just can't see it right now, your stronger than you can even imagine, do this with me, take every bit of strength you have sit up get dressed and brush your teeth and hair and walk out and sit in sun , take a short walk every day just a short walk to start with and the walk will get farther and farther, there is help outside in the sun, it's like battling a lion to get out of bed, just smack it across the face and tell him I'm in control today, time to change your life and get out in the sun just a few minutes each day, make sure you write a journal about your first steps and how hard they are, just make it out to the sun for a few minutes and each day those times will get longer. Must think of good thoughts your love by many around you they just don't understand

I'm sad to hear that - you're so young to be suffering so much . I'm a lot older than you, but have the same problems - extreme anxiety, sadness, don't want to get out of bed. Wish I knew the answer. Keeping busy as best you can is all I can think of - computer games - doing physical things like laundry, dishes, etc. writing on this website makes you know that you're not the only one. Do your MS symptoms come and go? I know someone who was diagnosed with MS over 30 years ago, and his symptoms do come and go. Hope I'm not being too personal.

Basically it’s there almost all the time until towards the later night. Sometimes in the day it’s crazy when I’m in school and don’t have any energy to focus, it’s all just a blur. But I do understand that I have been going many places and know I had not a bad time. Even when I felt terrible.

Great that you're able to have a good time, even with health problems and depression. I understand that you can feel terribly down, also. Anybody would, and many people do.
