I haven’t answered any messages. I haven’t changed clothes. I have spent two days in the hospital back and forth, and I have to go tomorrow, too. All I worry about is covering my wounded arms and my bruised neck from people.
Everything seems like such a bother.
I just start walking straight ahead with no destination and head to nowhere with the same song on repeat. I feel lost, I must look lost, I clench my arm behind my back; figured it fits how I truly feel, like I have no arms. An armless body. I detach completely from reality during those walks and don’t know who I am or where I am anymore. I must look insane. I cannot quite care. I want a hug.

Well if you want to hide, going out in the same identifying clothing is definitely the opposite route you want to take. It doesn’t sound like you’re lost, it sounds like you just haven’t picked a path yet. Why not start with the hug first? All you have to change your clothes, put on some long sleeves to cover your arms and a scarf (or makeup) if necessary for the neck, then just go ask for a hug from someone you know, it’s that easy.
I’m sorry you’re going through this, try to talk to someone that you trust, maybe that’ll help – seems like you’re going through a depressive episode
Go take a shower and drink some water hippy
Do try just to answer one message from one person you trust. Tell them how you feel and you’ll be pleasantly surprised I’m sure. Everyone needs support sometimes you just have to reach out.
Start with self care.
You could have changed your clothes quicker than typing this message.
I understand some people don’t shower when they’re down, but it literally takes 30 seconds to change an entire outfit.
I’m sorry your going through this, I hope whatever your going through gets resolved
talking to someone might ease what you are feeling, try to consider professional help..
Are you ohk now tho… Don’t worry I will hug you 😭😭
hey girl, i been there, several times. it’s hard to pull yourself out of the hole. sometimes you just need to take someone’s hand to help you up, no matter how much you’re telling yourself it’s not worth it. it’s really fucking hard, but i promise answering the people that have reached out to you in kindness will help. you don’t even have to talk about what you’re going through, just not being alone in itself can help. even if it’s just a small distraction. i wish you the best, take care 💛
I am sending you a hug. I’m hugging to take on whatever you’re feeling or lacking. It seems like you need a release. Someone to be present. Allow you to be. No judgments. No meaningless conversation. Just be. I’m hoping you find that or whatever it is you need. And it’s 100% okay that you haven’t changed clothes. It’s 100% okay that you’re listening to the same song. You’re still here. You’re still choosing to exist. You’re important. No matter what you do or decide to do. You matter.
You are depressed. And sounds like you may need some meds. My brain, doesn’t function without antidepressants. I have treatment resistant depression, and they help some. But, it’s so much better than not at all. I live on the struggle bus, but am making it. I hope you can find your footing and some peace in your mind. Just cause it’s bad now, doesn’t mean it will always be. But, it sounds like you need some help. Even if you have to text a friend to come over and help you set up a PCP appointment and take you there… then DO. IT. ❤️🌈
You really need to talk to a professional.
Honestly? Please go to therapy. Posting ts on reddit and expecting people to give you the advice you want to hear isn’t helping you. You’re just looking for someone to tell you what you want to hear, not for someone to help you with your problems.
Hugs to you. Hang in there. I know it’s hard.
Sending you a hug.
I wear the same pair of jeans…day in..day out
omg i do this sometimes- ill wear the same thing to work- i see very few people at work. i think its depression tbh
wait why are you bruised?
What happened to your arms
This is me all the time. Like I’m actually mad it’s getting hot out cuz now my hoodie won’t hide the shirt I’ve had on all week😭 (this is def a mix of depression and me never having laundry money)
Look, no soft advice here. If you can’t take harsh truth don’t read on->.
As you get older you will realize that the world is a cruel, evil, place with some sprinkles of light and a rare angel or two. The world is going to grab you, shake you, spin you upside down, chew you up and spit you out. Nobody is going to look out for you but yourself, nobody is going to be the hero, and nobody is going to grab you by the hand and tell you how to do things delicately or “nicely”. The only time the world was magical, was when we were little kids if your lucky, and some even still don’t have a good childhood. Point is you are in charge or your happiness. You are in charge of your life, your direction, your own mood. Get your mind right, stop being negative. You drop your ice cream? O well didnt need the extra carbs. You get a drink spilled on you? O well didnt like the outfit anyway. Your car trans go out? O well I’ll take a bike i need the exercise and fresh air. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, do some yoga and get yourself clean and presentable. Theres people who can have it much worse. Yes there are. Kids who are homeless, hearing bombs dropped everyday.
Put yourself out there, and don’t be a drag and talk about your problems. Call up a friend and go to the club then dance. Dance all night until you’re dripping in sweat, then go get some damn food after and talk to a stranger about how you would like to bungee jump, go to a live impromptu, or jump in a pool with a waterfall. Stop being stale and go live life! You feeling bad? That’s on you! Make yourself feel better!!
🫂Hugs & hope you heal fast, I’m sorry you’re going through this.
4 days? I’ve worn the same clothes for a week numerous times lol
