I'm depressed. Here's why, and how I'm coping with it today. #MentalHealthAwareness #depression

Thanks for sharing that - intrusive thoughts suck. Rest is such a great help. Hope tomorrow is better, for everyone.

I acknowledge how tough situations like this can be. Things are very heavy right now. I have no good words, but you are not alone.

Wishing you peace. Tomorrow, or the next day, is plenty soon enough.

After four days of draining but necessary activity, I no-showed today. Missed a couple of optional appointments, and forgetting some necessary to-do's, I never got out of my night shirt. Thank you for reminding me that I didn't take my morning meds. And, that reminded me that I was supposed to fill my pill boxes today.

Sadly, depression and anxiety issues are on the rise globally lately...all because of one over blown ego needing constant polishing casuing everyone to wonder....

Thank you for sharing. You are not alone, and you have reminded many of us that we are not alone. I'm sending very gentle hugs at you and your friend

I felt that deeply. Being a deeply empathetic person with major depression and GAD is quite a double edged sword. Teehee ive needed to cry so thank you for the video that made me able to do so(actually though, i have a hard time with it bc tRaUmA so getting to start is insanely difficult). Thank you for being brave and speaking about your struggles openly. I hope your pain eases soon❤

Hope it gets better for you.

Hugs, I have the ASD as well as the ADHD and the GAD and the MDD in the PTSD and the autism can get kind of locked in, but also ADHD can have that hyper focus, so yeah the best you could probably do is allow yourself to grieve and feel what you gotta feel even if it’s uncomfortable and sucks … and we can’t keep anybody alive we can’t force them to live, but still it sucks that we can’t take away their pain we can’t offer them a light that is worth staying for but we can let them have the autonomy and agency to do what they need to do and just try to show up when we can

Hugs! Sounds like you're working hard to get through a tough day and that's so impressive. Better days are ahead. 🤗

Thank you again for being so open with us all about your mental health struggles. #RepresentationMatters I have the same diagnoses and empathy and get intrusive thoughts similar to you. When I forget to take my morning meds that include my antidepressant, I start getting clammy, nauseous, heart racing (though those can also be POTS symptoms) by dinnertime and by bedtime around midnight I feel adrenaline zings, almost shocky, cannot sleep or regulate my temperature & perspiration, plus racing & intrusive thoughts. Once I remember to take the pill it can still be a couple hours before it becomes effective enough for me to fall asleep. TL;DR Use whatever alarms or physical reminders to take your antidepressant at a consistent time so you don't feel all the physical and mental side effects that ensue.

I got similar news today and actually wonder if we know the same person. Whatever the reason, I hold space for you and wish you and your friend peace.

Been there got the t-shirt 😢... I highly recommend burning it (the t-shirt to be clear)... especially if it's not plastic... You are far from alone so enjoy that nap and ground a bit. Hope things improve somewhere

When my depression tries to "out-logic" me using that "empathy is stupid" BS, it's nice to know from my psych knowledge that sympathy and empathy are basically intrinsic to human beings and that those actively choosing to be hurtful are the real "stupid ones". Because they're very outnumbered. The social community will always win over the person literally choosing to only make fake or abusive connections to others. Because true evil always throws everyone but themselves under a bus. Which, logically makes more sense than "empathy is stupid". Because if it was that stupid, why did evolution "keep" this trait? I hope this helps somebody! ❤

We are complicated souls but my goodness when I spend time with insensitive thick skinned people I am so grateful to be a delicate flower. Albeit with a few thorns 😈

Read, "Becoming Superhuman" by dr. Joe dispenza. Trust me on this one.

I have been in similar situations and you're not alone

Thanks for sharing

I'm so sorry for you and your friend. You are using all of your tools. You are not alone. I hope tomorrow is better.
