I overthink so much that It just effects me so much I cant get out of bed I barely eat anymore bc I feel nauseated and I just have a sad life it seems like everything in my life goes wrong so I barely expect anything to be good like events, I get so worried I barely sleep at night, trying to plan something or talking on the phone gives me extreme anxiety and I dont have anyone like no friends, my family doesnt believe in depression and idk if I'm able to get a therapist I'm just completely done and I have so many bad thoughts and thinking habits I just dont think I have anything good going for me so what's the point

@Kaypezzy

Thank you for posting. Starting is so important, and you have done that. Good job. It matters. I am glad that you are here. I hope you are also talking to people - 1-1 with a listener, in group, or however works for you. Please remember you are not alone. There are ways to get better, I promise, and being here is a great first step.

Perhaps as a next step, although I'm surely not an expert, but I believe in the value and importance of little joys. Not great huge life-changing things, but tiny little things that please you. A cute bird, a happy song, a funny picture, anything at all. I don't know if it is good advice, but it may help to look for something, some tiny thing that is a bit of joy. I believe it is out there.

I am glad you are here. Please keep reaching out.

Hey, thank you for sharing this with us. I can relate to some things you have mentioned. I overthink things all the time, and I end up feeling stressed, depresses, and just absolutely hopeless. Overthinking can never lead to anything positive. That's what i learned the hard way. Please know that you are not alone in this. Let's get through life one day at a time.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I know it must have been difficult. I've been dealing with something similar and I know it can be an extremely painful and unproductive time. It is even more difficult if there aren't loved ones who will support us by keeping us accountable in the little things like eating and taking a shower. Even if we do have these people, we are the ones who have to overcome. I visited my GP and got meds. They haven't fixed anything but they help with organising my thoughts so I can better wade through them with less self-punishment, chastisement and hate. Feeling like garbage myself, it might be hypocrital for me to this, but please fight. Fight it for all the potential you have and the days yet to come.
