Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?
Today is better than yesterday. I made myself go outside . I still feel like their is a black cloud over my head all day😕
Today I feel a bit scared, applying to colleges and overwhelmed. Normally I have a meeting with my therapist today, But I need time to study, which will make me feel beter afterwards. I can always see her next week and catch up.
With anxiety as always
Today iam feeling a bit guilty about feeling down, because my life has been pretty stable lately. I have so many good things, so why do istill feel so sad? I don't think I should be feeling this way.
I am great today. One of my good friends came back to school today..he and I are now going to homecoming together. And he apparently likes me..hopefully I didn't jinx it. I was working on getting over my crush and he just shows up..you can imagine how happy I am
Got out of bed and went to work today, which is better than I can say for the rest of this week. Made myself go to yoga last night and I think the exercise really perked me up.
I feel like I can't do anything right. Like I'm in everyone else's way and they only notice me when I'm not around.
I feel like I'm slowly settling into accepting my depression as just the way life is. I was all gung-ho to get help a few days ago, but now I'm wavering.
Aww please don't lose that momentum of wanting to get help. Getting help could change your life significantly and even if it doesn't you will still feel a bit better bc you tried to get help or you might gain some new information or a new perspective or something that makes you feel better than you are now.

@Lemontime20 I'm so nervous because I recently moved to a new country. From what I know, they regard mental illness as something you ought to deal with in private so I'm worried that even visiting a doctor won't get me the help I need.
Feeling kinda low ever since I started my second year of college, I never really had anyone to talk to since my friends just ignore me every time I open up to them, I don't really want to cause more stress to my mom since she's working abroad, and my dad doesn't really understand and he gets mad every time I open up, he always says that I behave like a child or I don't think like a college student. I really miss my old friends but we're too far away from each other and my college friends doesn't really care about me anymore.
It sounds like you are in a very lonely place @ladyjose. It can be tough in college when you are sort of between school friends and new college friends that will last. It does get better. But for now I hope you will find people here at 7 Cups who you feel you can talk to. Is there anything you used to do on your own that you enjoy? But everyone needs someone. I understand that. Sometimes it just takes a while for those people to come into your life. Don't give up! They will come.
I feel bad but I'm not sure why. Things are going good in my life. Today was alright until I had an attack of super anxiety. I don't think anyone understands how scary it is to have an overwhelming sense of anxiety and it sucks. I want to be a better me but sometimes depression and anxiety make it hard.
Yes @funnyPear19, depression and anxiety can make it very hard. It must be so frustrating to just have these feelings without really knowing why, without understanding them, without feeling in control. Are there times when you feel more in control?
Scared
