    I feel like I'm losing my damn mind.

    As soon as I'm alone, I feel like a burden and a bother. I feel like texting someone just to have someone to talk to makes me fucking pathetic. I feel emotionally alone all the time. And I know, I fucking know, that just because someone isn't texting me back that doesn't mean I'm being a bother or they're pissed at me or they hate me. But even the slightest rejection throws me for a fucking loop. I can't get a grasp on any of my fucking emotions. I don't know whether to hit something or cry or just be calm. And I know people care! I've been told without ambiguity that people care, but it just falls so emotionally flat. I know they're not lying to me. They want to see me better. But nothing makes me feel better. And I just want to function like a normal fucking person. I'm having so much trouble getting to class because I just wake up and realize that I'm too fucking sad or too fucking scared to go.

    *waves a giant flag that says 'doctor, therapy, meds' on it*

    That's depression, hoss. Get some help about it. I did, and I would not be a functioning human being today if I had not.

    Sometimes you need to try a few different things before it works.

    Like this happened last year around the same time. And like, I got my shit together and made my life better.

    And like, I've been mostly fine since December. But fucking last Tuesday rolled around, and like 4:45 a.m. rolled around and I am awake + crying for no reason and I just hate everything

    i've been working on my depression for more than five years at this point. i thought i had a solution until july, when i had the worst drop of my lifetime. now i'm back to work again, but i'm still catching up. it's not something that can be cured, but it is absolutely something that can be treated and treated successfully.

  • KadithKadith Registered User regular
    i've been treating mine for about 2 years with no real results from several drugs or therapists

    soo tired of working at it at this point

    I've been off and on medication my entire adult life. I seem to sometimes go years without needing it at all, and then something stupid will come along and I will just break the fuck down. I actually just went back on a few weeks ago.

    I've still had some bad times, but they just go away easier now. It helps that I have a couple people in my life who love me, who I can talk to any time about anything. The past couple mornings haven't been great, but I've been able to talk them okay again instead of hanging on for days. It's a big deal.

    this is literally me right now

    I feel like I'm bothering people by talking to them, but when I don't have anyone to talk to I just sit there shaking, feeling sick to my stomach thinking that everyone hates me and is annoyed by me and god why can't I just get over myself

    Is this the part where I realize that I'm not actually a fundamentally broken human being?

    It's the part where we're supposed to but we won't because we have crippling anxiety/depression and we're all alone

    No more so than I am, at least.

    ...I don't know how comforting that is.

    You guys can talk to me if you want. I'm pretty much always around somewhere.

    It's no bother to me; at this point I'm just paying it forward.

    ceres on

    Seriously. Forumers have come out of the woodwork over the past couple weeks to talk to me until I felt better, until I had a plan, until I didn't feel like walking into traffic if I could be bothered to get up.

    If you need to talk and someone offers, take it. Someone might change your life.

    and while I think that it's good for me to actually talk to people about it, I get caught up on always being "the strong one" and never showing a sign of weakness to people and after I talk about this shit it makes me feel even worse and wish I'd just clammed up forever and put on a happy face
