Relapse??
So I feel like I'm really relapseing with my depression. I'm drawing back into myself and I feel so alone. I'm @ school, and everyone's laughing and I don't understand how they can be happy and I can't y'know??
I don't want to have relapsed, but I'm afraid...
So yeah.
@stickydatepudding14 Hi there Valerie! Oh dear, it sounds like you're going through a really tough time right now. And I can understand how scary it must be feeling like you're about to relapse. And I know what it's like watching others from a distance, seeing them laughing and smiling... and longing for the same thing but feeling like happiness is out of your reach right now. You mentioned you don't understand why you "can't" be happy and the rest of them can? Maybe, given what you're going through right now, it's hard to wear a smile and be happy .. but happiness is possible, if that's what you want. What makes/might make you happy?
And it sounds like while you're possibly on the brink of relapse, which is indeed scary, do you think there might still be a way to avoid a complete relapse? Do you have a support system? Take some time to focus on yourself, to care for yourself if needed ♥
If you want, you're more than welcome to PM me from a member/guest account, dearie. I hope things get better for you soon ♥
