I’m trying, it’s not working

...See more I tried to see a therapist regularly for the past few months. I even met with a psychiatrist - and medications scare me. I’m really trying to open up this time, and put down the walls I’ve built up. But it’s just not working - it’s making me feel worse. I’m just always fighting this alone. I know progress isn’t linear but why does it feel like I’m plummeting? Honestly, being able to post on here anonymously brings me more relief 🥲 💙 [Thank you all for helping me through a hard time while I’m finding my way.]
Trying to acknowledge I have trauma

...See more Hi everyone, I joined 7 Cups because of my pretty severe depressive symptoms. However, my therapist (and previous ones) has been trying to help me notice all the complex, repeated traumatic experiences I have had - and how they relate to my mood now. It’s strange but I’ve never viewed them as personal traumas even though I would view them as extremely traumatic in others. Have I been dissociating to cope my whole life? Maybe I still am now..? I’m not sure where to go from here but I’m ready to start acknowledging that I have experienced trauma. Thank you for this space 🙏💙

...See more Graduate school brings me so much stress, and makes my depression worse. But I’m still more afraid of graduating and feeling unfulfilled. I’ve been a student for so long I’m not sure how to be any other way. Can anyone relate?
How can I feel again?

...See more While sadness is something I’m familiar with, the overwhelming sense of ‘nothingness’ upsets me more. The things that used to motivate and drive me now seem like additional punishments. I find myself smiling to make other people more comfortable. It’s more difficult to find joy where I used to. I’m a very passionate person - but I feel like thats gone now. Has anyone else felt like the only emotions that can be taken in are negative?
Empty and Alone 😕

...See more I’ve struggled with depressive episodes most of my life, but the past six months have been the worst. I can’t seem to pull myself out of it. I spent all my time and energy working toward a career, and now that I have it I just feel completely empty. I let relationships and hobbies pass me by and now I’m just alone with thoughts. I’m filled with regrets and disappointment. Does anyone else ever feel this way or have suggestions?
