What is the thing that depression effects the most in your life?
Loving myself
@lostinheaven - Can you please explain?
It made me hate everyone and everything. Even me.
@r3w1teit Me, too.
Depression makes me wonder if any of this is worth it... The nicer I am, the more I get crapped on... Especially by my spouse.
I hate everyone and everything... I especially hate myself for being a door mat.
@Burnie123 exactly. Thas why i resorted to just bein a bitch but i get crap for tha too. And octavots like everytime i get up life has to hit me harder than the last time...
@Burnie123 it's*
The more depressed I am feeling, the less motivation and energy I have and the more I isolate myself...which only makes the depression worse. Vicious cycle.
@BridgetAileen
I get you there. I get the samethings going on and I close the curtains, lock the door and sit in the dark. TV off and all that. Don't even feel like eating. That's usually when the anxiety starts kicking in.
@BridgetAileen - I agree with that. I like to think that because it's a cycle there's a chance to break it.
@JK17 You're right! It can be broken. That's why we're here, right? 
@JK17 - It's taken a lot of work this past month, but I'm finally breaking that cycle. What a relief! I know that depression won't be gone forever, but having learned what I have in the past month and having worked so hard to implement it all so that these tools become new habits, maybe it won't be so difficult the next time around. I hope you're learning and improving, as well.
I guess for me depression has been around since I was young. It comes and goes. But when it hits I lose control and hope. I push people away. I waste money. I shut myself off. I don't eat properly. I stay awake late. I feel sad. I have suicidal thoughts.
The combination of these things gives me an overall sense of hopelessness.
Then I think I don't care what people think about me. As long as I can be happy I don't have to prove anything to anyone.
@JK17 I definitely relate to what you said!
I'm lonely. Shy. One. Fantasizing about abstract affairs. Isolated. Silent. Stronger. Empty. Intelligent. Weird. Constructing an inner fair and exciting world unlike this one. What else could I say?
@Voidmare I think you said it very well.
It differes for me, sometimes I feel like I'm worth nothing and I hate my entire existence, other times it physcially affects me, I can't sleep etc, and have Social Anxiety too, so I literally cannot interact with anyone
@JordanPeraltaa I'm sorry that you have Social Anxiety on top of depression. I can only imagine how difficult that must be. Hugs!
@BridgetAileen Aww thanks, but we all have problems! <3
@BridgetAileen Aww thanks, but we all have problems! <3
@BridgetAileen Aww thanks, but we all have problems! <3
Probably my school life and social life. Because of My depression I have to be homebound. Which means that I still go to my school but I can't be there because I'm a risk to myself.
@Sarav123, I'm sorry that your depression is taking such a toll on you. It must be difficult to be homebound for your schooling. I hope that you find support and friends here at 7 Cups that will help ease things for you.
It really affects my motivation and its a struggle everyday to find a reason to get through it.
@benevolentWings22 You're right there! It takes a lot of hard work. Every. Single, Day.
My ability to work. I'm unemployed at the moment. I think my inabilty to concentrate and lack of energy leads to stress when I'm working, and not being able to cope with the stress causes suicidal ideation and a whole bunch of other symptoms.
@georgiaaigroeg Oh Georgia, that must be incredibly difficult. I'm fortunate in that I was able to continue working until I retired. I hope things improve for you.
@georgiaaigroeg relationship with my girlfriend and son
@Underpressurewilson I'm sorry to hear that your closest relationships are affected. I hope the three of you find a way to work it all out.
@georgiaaigroeg It's like I was saring me on the mirror with your status descriptio...I am desperate and I do not have a clue what can I do.
If someone read to usand could give a piece of advise...
It is really hard feel in this way
