How do I take that first step?
I've been struggling with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember at this point. And I don't recall the last time I've wanted to improve upon myself in any way. I don't have the energy or the motivation to seek help or to improve upon myself physically or mentally. I don't have the energy or motivation to really do anything. How did you guys take that first step towards improvement? Because at this point, I desperately need it. I don't know how much longer I can go on like this.

hey there! i'm sarinn ^^ welcome to cups!
i hear you, it can feel like getting up everyday is a big enough task to do
and like to do something, to improve, to grow out of feeling unmotivated and pointless... it can seem like a too big thing to do but you are looking for a first step right?
dunno if you are aware of it but you've already taken the first step! you already are seeking support, you are here you "want" to find a way out of struggles and i guess this is the first step for everyone!
p.s. i'll be right here, just a reply away, if you wanted to talk to a friend or would like a hug *sends a tight hug*

I understand that trying to get help and get yourself better can feel like a daunting task. It can be hard to take that first step. You ask how to take that first step... I think by being here and being willing to talk and help yourself.. you have taken that first step.
