What parts of depression do you need the most help with?
Hello everyone!
I'm curious as to what parts of depression you need the most help with. Maybe you've tried to reach out about those particular problems but they have no clear answers, or maybe you do have clear answers, it's just very hard to put them into practice.
Feel free to share. I might have some insight into what you're going through.
Thank you!

@wakingPhoenix for me it's the lack of motivation...and the loss of enjoyment...I think those 2 combined are a major source of struggle. How to even start to get better when you have no motivation! It's a daily battle that I think really keeps me down
@FoxPrince That's a difficult place to be in. In that state, every step in a new direction is hard and deserves applause. Thank you for taking the time to share that with me. It's kind of a catch-22 situation. The more you do despite how you well, the more energy you'll have. Gradually it will get easier. Hang in there!!
* the more you do despite how you feel
@wakingPhoenix hang in there walking Phoenix. the more you do the more you'll be able to do the better you will feel about yourself. It may not feel like your moving forward but guess what you are. you seem Willing to recover.
@wakingPhoenix
I know what to do, I just cannot put anything into practice by myself (not someone to do it for me but someone to do things with...) and the same doom and futility of the future....why?...
@zeeebah that's understandable, it's a lot more motivating to be accomplishing a goal beside another person. What are you looking to do as your next step? Feeling hopeless can be the sign of something important, maybe a habit to break or something more to understand about yourself...do you feel that you're never meeting your own expectations?
Honestly dont know how this could be helped, I've suppressed any sort of emotion I experience. Previously was just negative ones but the Jump from feeling great to horrid has become too much. I ignore any sort of mental sensation and has left me grey. I am fully functioning, I attend work, a few social meets and completing a degree. I don't know how to enjoy things anymore. I'm scared to feel anything

@quietCity7842 it's understandable that you feel this way. Sometimes emotions can be really really overwhelming. Maybe opening up to them slowly will help. Is there a vulnerable part of you that doesn't feel safe and wants to be comforted? We all have that. I'm glad to hear you are still able to function. I'm so sad to hear that you've lost enjoyment in anything. You matter and your feelings matter. I want you to know that.
Loneliness is the biggest problem for me. But no matter what I do nothing fixes it and people only dislike me more because I'm boring, awkward, and autistic
The horrible feeling of being alone as well as feeling empty and not neede
