ive seen that youve given advice about this before and youre one of my fav blogs so im going to reach out to you. ive been severely depressed lately. its been a really rough time for me but i cant do anything or convince myself to be happy. i have no motivation to do my favourite things or ill cry at my favourite show. im just not sure what to do. how do you get over times like this? especially when no one can make you feel better about yourself what makes you want to stay alive?
Thank you for reaching out in your time of need. I know that’s really hard and you’re really brave for doing so, so to begin with thank you and good job! I’m proud of you bby ;u; Depression is no joke, and nothing you should take lightly. It’s a deep imbedded sickness that can take years or a lifetime to overcome. Some never make it, sadly. Getting help and making an effort to get better is the first step and often the hardest. You’re moving in the right direction!Even though I’m extremely happy in this present moment of my life, I still find myself struggling with my depression and anxiety. Everyday tasks in life that are easy or simple to others are difficult for me and I find myself feeling like I’m slipping backwards. In times like this I highly suggest you surround yourself with something you love or that brings you comfort. No matter what it is. If you have no one who you find comfort in find some/thing/. A show/movie, art, reading, music, nature, animals, etc. Explore and fight fight fight! Depression is a war and you have to fight it to survive. Luckily you aren’t alone in this and there are SO many options of help out there for you! People like myself who are willing and able to help are here for you always, so please never hesitate to approach. I personally would be very happy to talk to you to take your mind off things, though I can’t promise I won’t be a dumb fuck and be awkward as hell. I’m on skype and gmail which I will share if you ask :) I’m sure my gf would love to help as well. When I feel like I’m at the end of my rope I usually just talk to her until I feel better, though sometimes it gets really bad and I can hardly bring myself to say anything whether it be verbal or via text. Luckily my gf Hazel reaches out to me and still continues to help me even when I do not ask for it. She is my reason to live and be better. She has saved me so many times from doing stupid things and I would be nothing and definitely not in the physical world without her and her positive influence in my life. I owe her everything. I really hope you’re feeling alright and this helped some. Please, please don’t give in. You are special and you mean something, don’t give in to this horrible sickness. Fight fight fight!!! I will fight with you, always! <3
