Too depressed to get help....
I can barely get out of bed in the morning let alone go to a therapist, continue making it to appointments, find the emotional energy to get better. I just want the depression to go away. I don't have the energy to fight. How do I get my life back when all I can do is sleep?

Hi there, I am so sorry you are down these days. There are a variety of ways to get treated for depression, but the key thing to get treatment and get better is the motivation to get help. It's a struggle, I know, but if you accept the help, then you will get better much easier than if you got help reluctantly. We are all here to support you; please feel free to message me if you want to talk more. I have faith you will overcome this crisis. :)
@politePineapple2995, I'm sorry that you feel so awful. It is really hard enduring this pain and numbness. I know that you want to be free from this weight, to live a "normal" life again. It is exhausting and hard and boring to keep fighting day after day when your whole body just screams out for sleeping.
I'm proud of you. Only you know how much energy you sacrifice every day to function on the minimum level. You are showing an inhuman strength and I admire that. You are doing as best as you can to feel better. You book appointments with your doctor, you drag yourself out from the bed, you reach out to this community for support. You are already doing so much to fight your monsters!
Believe in yourself, like I believe in you. Believe in your past, in your actions, in your daily struggle and see the incredible warrior. You can do it. Step by step. Don't be afraid to ask someone else to book an appt with your doctor for you. You are not alone, there are people who can help you.
Let me know how are you feeling this week. Love to hear from you. Best wishes, lovely!
We're all here for you at 7 cups of tea. Gaining motivation may seem hard at first but once you grab hold of it, never let it go. Feel free to message me if you want :)
I sometimes can't even talk to friends because I'm too worried and scared of what they would say. and I'm afraid of my parents telling me I'm fine over and over again how I'm not depressed and don't have anxiety. I feel like I tell my therapists everything, but when I leave, I feel like she didn't listen to my problems.
