Depression blows

Anonymous - 14/03/2022 22:00 - United States - Steele

Today, I was having a pretty good day, until my depression decided to ruin it. My depression sporadically "appears" every other day, and when it does, it doesn't go away for the rest of the day, so I'm doomed to spend the rest of the day feeling extremely down in the dumps, and I can't explain why.

Today, I woke up and did the same thing I do at the start of every day: lie in my bed and stare up at the ceiling for who knows how long, all while contemplating how little I've accomplished in my life. Depression sucks. FML

The big waiting room

Big sad - 27/07/2025 15:00 - United States - Steele

Today, my depression has reached the point where I'm not sure if I'm even living anymore. Sure, I'm very much alive and able to type this, but I feel as though I'm just existing. Taking up space. Doing nothing. I can't be alone here, right? FML

Today, and like most days, I spend my day pretending to be happy just so other people won’t suspect anything, then as soon as I get home I just collapse on the sofa miserable, and eventually fall asleep only to wake up the next day to do it all over again. FML

The void

Today, my depression has hit a new low. I had to verbally motivate myself for at least an hour in order to wash two plates. I ended up giving up in the middle, and completely shutting down for six hours afterwards. FML

dead inside - 16/09/2024 13:00 - United States

Today, my depression has reached the point where I don't even have the energy to seriously pursue any hobbies. Any time I find the motivation to try something new, I immediately get discouraged at the slightest difficulties, and become even more depressed. I don't even know why I'm trying anymore. FML

Lonely times

Today, I realized why my depression is so bad. No matter how hard I try, I have always been a replaceable presence in everyone's lives, and I have never felt like anyone couldn't live without me. Not even family. FML

Sorry to hear that. Depression sucks. I could give you all the advice in the world, but you have to figure out what works for you.

talk to a doctor, and if that isn't covered wherever you are, talk to a pharmacist. a doctor can give you a better baseline for both type of depression and recommendations for how to handle It. pharmacists can't prescribe meds, but can give their "general opinion" and recommend various teas, vitamins or even strain of cannabis. I suffer from seasonal depression and my family doctor pushes meds, old dude at the pharmacy said try various vitamins I might be missing that can throw the body off before going for meds. to many things can cause depression and some are easier to fix or handle than others.
