How do you cope with depressed feelings/burnout/lack of motivation?

r/

My mom is absolutely horrible at helping me feel better. She often will claim she is depressed and it is my fault because I gave it to her.

I’m honestly just so tired. I broke up with my bf (who was also my best friend of 3 yrs) and I feel so crappy and lonely. I just want to do some things to feel better.

I no longer have the motivation to do hygeine or study. (I usually study a lot even if I disregard my hygeine bc of AuDHD- I’m very academcally inclined.) I don’t even have an apetite. I just feel so useless and guilty and my goals and to-do list feel hopeless. I just feel so alone like I have no one :c

Help? Thanks for reading, have a nice day.

    You are in an abusive situation.

    Your mother’s mental health is neither your fault NOR your responsibility.

    Can you talk to a school councilor about maybe getting housing on campus?
