Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?
Confused. Apprehensive. Stuck.
I'm so scared and depressed. How can I be happy again?
hopeless. empty. alone. rejected. unable to control my life.
Existing in an emotionally driven state. I assume my lack of sleep is partly to blame for this.
Sometimes I forget why im here. Its like the sinking feeling that im stuck and i cant do anything about things or the way they are
I find that usually when I feel this way, it's when I feel trapped or I have no one to show me that life is alright out there.
Maybe you're in a shitty situation (I don't know) But all you're seeing is a black corner of life and just remember that there's a whole, colorful world out there. Things to experience.
Again, I don't know your situation, so I don't know what you can't change but maybe you should make a list of what you actually want your life to look like and think of small things you can change, then work to the big ones.

I've felt that way before, sometimes it's all to much to deal and cope with just know there is people who care and will support you especially on here it's helped my a lot I have severe anxiety depression ptsd and adhd I know what it's like to feel alone I hope things get better one easy way i cope i write down all my thoughts or emotions on paper then shred them it makes me feel better.
I'm so over being scared all of the time. It's killing my motivation, it's keeping me from enjoying life. I wish I could stop second-guessing myself, putting myself down, and undermining my achievements.
Maybe you should try making a bucket list, things you really want to achieve or do in life. That's how I keep myself going...like I want to travel the world and whenever I think about getting on that plane to somewhere new, it gives me a rush.
You could also make a list of things you've done that you're proud of. Even the little things. from "I gave someone a compliment and made them smile." to "I aced a test I was worried for."
You've got this.
I am feeling very sad today. My boyfriend just broke up with me. We've been off and on, but I think this is truly the end.
Breakups are bad..but the memories are the worst...
If you're anything like me, you're going to wake up and a huge weight is going to drop on your chest, then as each day goes by it will get lighter. And as it gets lighter and you start to learn to breathe again, you'll begin to finally feel free and you'll be able to pursue other people.
Cry your little heart out but just know that it's all a process of making you stronger and there's someone out there worth really crying for, only you won't have to at all.
I feel tired, physically and mentally.
Things aren't that traumatic in my life but I still find myself disassociating and being unable to feel enjoyment. I'm also beginning to feel more cynical day by day and that maybe I should push away the people who don't care anymore...
I don't know if I am depressed, butsometimes I am sad, and feel alone...
and I am working on trying to fill that hole.
I feel so tired. Of depression, of loneliness, of going to work, of wearing this mask of happiness when i go outside...i just want to curl up in bed anddontface the real world. I just want it to end.
This is what I feel today, too. Sometimes I just want to run away from everything. Leave my life right now, live somewhere no one knows me.
this is the same way i feel basically every day. there are some days that i just don't want to be around anyone because i just don't have the energy to pretend like everything's fine.
