Just Another Depressed Day
Hey Everyone! This is my first time sharing something personal with people. I have had quite a shitty live since forever. My father has schizophrenia and i have never seen him normal. My mother is always preoccupied with my sister and never have time for my needs and desires. Financially, the focus has always been my sister. I only got what was necessary. It has destroyed my personality. I don't know since when and how long i have been dealing with depression, anxiety and trust issues. No one in my close circle knows because I can't open up. I can't trust them enough to understand me. Now i earn for myself, i am studying, i have a relationship. Yet things keep getting tough. I keep having episodes of depression. My health is messed up I don't feel hungry. I try to fight and make things better but it's just feels like a never-ending struggle. Lately, i have no will to live. There are days when I'm fine, happy and enjoying. But there are days when i feel it do hard to even get up. I don't want to use medicines to help with depression I want to do it myself. I try different things but something keeps reminding me of past and how lonely I'm. I don't know what to do about it.
Hey mahyy!
I feel for you. I have had a shitty life too. I an 39, divorced, in a loss making business, struggling each day with just my mom as family. But I feel like you still have some things going on for yourself. Like earning, studying having a relationship! These are good things. But please push yourself. Make friends. Be part of forums. Get active here. I hope you do well

Hi, I know it's been months. I haven't been active here much. But saw your post and i think i needed it today more than 9 months ago. I landed my dream job a day ago. I have been trying to get it for a year. Yesterday I was really happy but there weren't much people around me who could understand what it meant to me. So thankyou for your kind words.
Hope you are doing good too!
Congrats! You should be really excited. Those dream jobs mean so much when you have struggled so hard to get to that point. @mahyy
