depression slumps

Hi how are you?

@ViewScenic09 im not doing great. how are you?

I'm ok. If you want to talk you can pm me.

@ViewScenic09 thank you

I am so sorry that you are feeling that way. That definitely happens to a lot of us. You aren't alone.

Getting out of the cave starts with physically caring for yourself. How are you doing on eating and drinking liquids?@sunshine0814

@bestVase7265 definitely not well at all i guess that is a really good point. i think i get so down i forget that i need to take care of myself. it is still going on which is scary and now that you say something i guess i am starving lol

This gives you a good starting point. Make it all that you worry about in the next week - eating and drinking water. Don't let your brain tell you that it is unimportant.

You can rebuild yourself one skill at a time. @sunshine0814

@bestVase7265 how do you know this kind of stuff? i feel like when i get down i lose all sense of being a clean/healthy person

@mags1311 yeah thats how i get too

I know this stuff because I have been there and my brain has done the same stuff to me. You lose all sense of focus and your brain tells you you don't have the energy to shower. But as soon as you force yourself to do it, you realize that you actually do feel minimally better.

You can build from there to get out of the hole. I have gotten out myself. @mags1311

I have also found myself in the depression slumps lately. It’s a really difficult thing to tackle, especially when you aren’t surrounded by many friends or family. I think that’s been a big part of why I’ve been so down lately, I never have anyone to talk to when things start to get bad, and then they just snowball uncontrollably. I have one friend that I try to talk to about things but he tends to be wrapped up in his own problems and I don’t really feel like he’s listening, or the topic gets shifted very quickly. And maybe that’s a me problem, I shouldn’t be expecting other people to be my therapist. I just wish I had someone to talk to sometimes. That’s why I got on this app and I’m really hoping it’ll help me feel a little less alone in the world. I’m not sure I have any advice but please feel free to message me anytime or reply here. 🩵

Hey. Hope you’re doing better. I can relate to how you’re feeling and the same thing is currently happening to me. Anyways, if you need someone to talk to you can always vent to me or anything I don’t mind.
