My bf is perfect my family is perfect my friends are perfect I got perfect grades my whole life I just think I’m not the kind of person who can stay happy. I think even if I get better I’ll be stuck in a loop like this until I die. I cant picture a future where I’m not heavily depressed and even as a young child I never wanted to grow up and have a future

Girl, did I write this? This is exactly how I feel just know you aren’t alone!!!

i have been in the exact same place as you are right now. what i find helps is honestly setting short term goals for myself that i know are achievable and i look forward too. whatever those may be. and when they get accomplished you feel great and are motivated to continue. on top of that allow yourself to have fun and like rbbit said, learn to relax. enjoy this time as much as you can

Most real post I've ever seen. Not glad that other ppl feel this way but it definitely helps knowing I'm not just insane for thinking this. All I can say is find something that fulfills your soul.

Seek purpose in God. I don't know if you have any background regarding religion, but when I felt lost and had no clear purpose in my life God called out to me and gave me what you're looking for. I don't want to push that on you but it's the best option imo

This was exactly how I was. After a lot of searching, I discovered my passion in life was babies, so I’m in nursing school to become a nicu nurse. As hard as school is, having something that gives you purpose really helps

If you could wake up and have the perfect life what would it look like?

I feel like this CONSTANTLY! Something that’d helped me; Find something that makes you happy and LET IT MAKE YOU HAPPY!! I know I feel exactly like this all the time and sometimes I don’t let myself just do things that make me happy. Listen to music, walk, read, watch something you love, anything. Indulge yourself, it makes life a little easier sometimes. Hang in there🤍

Ik the feeling but you gatta keep pushing. In life no one is gonna do anything for you. It’s hard to hear but it’s true. Had a lot of 💩 happen to me to make me wanna give up on life but Ik I always wanted better for myself. Yes it sucks now but the more I try the more I see doors becoming ajar for me. Nd soon I’ll be able to walk through them fully. The road to success is never easy unless you born into a rich family, but as long as you gat God nd surrounding yourself with friends…….

baby you gotta get on meds. it’s not normal to feel that way and you don’t have to. you’re not living right now but it doesn’t have to be that way. take care 🩷

I understand I went through it really bad my junior year of high school. It’s still a work in progress to this day, but I can proudly say that I’ve come a long way. The best thing for me was seeing both a psychiatrist and therapist. For me the medication did wonders. And being able to finally talk about everything I kept locked inside for years to my therapist not only helped relieve the pain, but I was able to look back and learn from the memories and how they effect me.

Anonymous 17w

i think what most of this common section is experiencing is hugely a result of late-state capitalism. the constant sense of needing to having it all, to push yourself to do it all, and the never-ending dread/hopelessness of what the future holds. it’s rough what societies become, and especially in these highly uncertain times, the best we can do is take care of ourselves and stick out for each other! remember you are never alone, and there are people who see you, for you. 🫶

I strongly encourage finding a support system (close friends, this open chat, family members) and getting help while you continue on this journey. I promise you, I know exactly how you feel. And there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Not only that, but you become so much stronger and wiser. It seems impossible right now, but you can do it. We all believe in you!

I feel this so deeply and I hope that sharing something my therapist said is as helpful to you as it was to me: life is never happy the whole time, and this unfortunately is one of your hard times. But in that same vein, it’s also not hard or sad or exhausting all the time. It’s a different way of saying the same old “life is tough” but with a grain of salt, it is tough but not always, and you are strong and ready for this even when you feel like you aren’t

I have a short term and long term plan/ goals, but also have to be eyes wide open to all the things that will get in the way and slow me down. To the people who say school is the best, they’re both right and wrong, on the one hand, you have only accountability to yourself, so take advantage of that! This is your time to be dumb and make bad mistakes and not know what you’re doing, is allowed and highly encouraged!! It’s okay to be exhausted too, but we also need to learn to rest

I was in your shoes in college/high school and went through months of monotonous exhaustion and depression until I really really learned how to rest. It’s not something that just happens you really need to learn how to allow your body and mind to recoup. It takes a while but is the most fruitful thing you will learn for life. I hope you can find some peace this summer, your grades don’t matter when you finish, just matters that you did it/ARE doing it and I and so many people are proud of you.

that motivate you you’ll be fine. I’ll even be a friend that hold you accountable nd make sure you do your assignments in a timely manner. All you need is a helping hand, nd if I can be one of um then you’ll be one step closer. I have srs ADHD issues but I manage to pull through. So yeah, I’m don’t to help if I can. You just have to be willing to take that step nd fight for a future uk you deserve along with the family you will have, so they don’t have to go through as much of a struggle as you.

I’d be a travel social worker, who’s financially stable. With two kids nd my girlfriend who I’d marry with the grandest wedding. With ice sculptures from all the best memories we shared including the day we first held our kids. My mother would also be in a better living space over here in the US enjoying her retirement

First and foremost, like most Mh things, therapy to let yourself off the hook for things that are in the past. So much exhaustion comes from being guilty or feeling weighed down by grades, bad choices, mistakes, etc. you have to forgive yourself and let go of those first. Then you stop feeling guilty for having “me time” where you actually get to rest and recoup, whatever that looks like for you

I saw ur other comment that ur ADHD, same! Wanted to ask if you are on meds for that too, sometimes a change in that category can help with these things. Some other ppl mentioned something similar but somethings I’ve been focusing on are: Little things that are happy, let yourself/will yourself to be BIG happy about it. get too excited, feel any emotions you want

(Continued) Blocking out time for resting, like this upcoming holiday, being with family is awesome and can be cathartic, but so is staying at home and having a long everthing shower and changing the sheets so you feel clean Get a massage. Dead serious. Or get your nails done. Pamper if you can afford it, it’s unmitigated you time for the sake of it. Balance activity and inactivity, find relaxing/rejuvinating things that are active (whether it’s going to the park or a museum or exercise)

Feeling better rn so I’m replying to a bunch of comments, but yes I’m on Ritalin but that only helps for like an hour at a time so I’m probably gonna switch that too since it’s an “as needed” basis but the need is like… all the time. I have like 60 bucks of spending money left for the next two weeks so I might take your advice and get a pedicure

That’s so fair. Maybe it gives you some time to take stock? Try a literal room reset (maybe enlist the boyfriend to help if he can, or some friends) clean and air out. It won’t fix everything but it’s an actionable first step (even just cleaning pillow cases is a good start) something small you can do and feel good and accomplished about
