Living is becoming harder

persistentJar149 October 4th, 2022

I feel as the days go bye the more I lose myself. I feel hurt, sad, useless, unwelcomed and unnecessary. My depression and anxiety is getting worse and worse every minute by everyday. I can’t control my feelings and I’m crying everyday. Im starting to shut out people close to me again and become more antisocial. Im not taking care of myself like I need to and I’m losing the will to live. I have nobody to talk to. My mental health is worsening my physical health. I sit in my room and wonder would ending it all be the best solution. I really just want to be alive. I’m losing interest in things I loved to do. When I try to talk about my problems I hear “ what do u have to be depressed about”, “u have no reason to be depressed” or I can tell they take pity on me or try to downplay my feelings.

@persistentjar149 hey I understand what you're going through. I've been through depression myself. Still battling it. Some days are harder than others. People don't always know what you're experiencing. Have you considered going to a doctor? Medicines and therapy both help. Hope you feel better.

I’ve been given medication for both anxiety and depression but it’s not helping anymore. I feel like I’m suffocating.

I understand. What's been helping me is watching YouTube videos that are encouraging and sympathetic. One series I like is called PsychToGo. Cheerful and compassionate. You might try that.

Are you financially able to change your life? Like, go full-time living in an RV and travel the country? That's what I'd do if I could afford to buy an RV... there are cool videos on YouTube about that too...

Sadly I am not financially stable but I will try the videos and see if they help somewhat

We take your issues seriously because they are serious. It would be good to try to find some people in your regular life who also take your concerns seriously. Have you tried talking to a doctor? @persistentJar149

Yes I’ve talked to my doctor but still haven’t been prescribed new medication as my old one isn’t working anymore. I’ve tried speaking to everyone but it’s not like I’m being heard

That is so frustrating. It can be hard when you are depressed to try and try again. But I would call again and let them know that you need to try something different. Now. You don't deserve to be suffering. @persistentJar149
