Hey guys. For the last several months, I think I’ve really been struggling with some type of depression. I really want to feel better, but I don’t want to resort to doctors and pills. Does anyone have any good recommendations for feeling better?

Tbh it never gets better but you should definitely confide with someone regularly about ur mental state. Like a therapist, friend, etc.

Exercise helps a lot!

I think that you saying that you want to feel better is already a great accomplishment. Don’t be too harsh on yourself, I think you got this. It’s rlly difficult but try forcing yourself little by little.. even doing small things might help. Tidying your bed, doing dishes. It’s hardest to get yourself to exercise but if you manage to do that, it does help. You just have to push yourself. Even writing a planner even if you don’t end up following it 😂

I wish I could. I feel more alone than ever rn. If I try to talk to my parents, they just minimize my feelings. I don’t have many friends I trust to talk to about anything, and the one friend I would talk to is a couple hundred miles away, and I’m trying to think less about her anyway (weird history, I like her, but it’s not gonna happen so I’m trying to give myself space). I know therapy works and is great, but I don’t think it’s for me. I just have major trust issues, and idk if I could be

I know, I really wanna start exercising more, but I just don’t know if I have the drive to make real change :(

Thank you, I appreciate it. Just going through major life changes, and I keep trying to wait until things calm down to start setting up some kind of routine. But I guess that’s part of the problem

I had similar traits, waiting for a moment that I might be able to perform better. Might seem like procrastination from the outside, but I actually am looking for the best time to start 😂 I don’t think waiting is that bad. But if waiting starts to make you feel bad, then it’d be a sign to start asap!
