    In a funk. Surrounded by things that need my attention but I don’t have the drive to tackle any of them. Tapped out. Exhausted. Needing some validation and acceptance.

    Disrespected as well as depressed. Also, probably going to be sick this weekend… again. Taking care of children is yucky.

    It’s tough just now. The world feels like it’s losing its mind, and hope for a better future is dwindling by the day. But, we keep on keeping on.

    Right now I feel pretty okay, which is a relief from my earlier anxious thoughts that were making me sick.

    As I was driving home from the hospital this morning (I work night shift 7P-7:30A) I was sitting at an intersection and said “maybe an asteroid will hit my car”. 😂. Since then I have taken a nap, worked out, and then went on a walk. Dissociation time.

    Anyone else just feel nothing?

    Blunted. Fragile. Sometimes I feel like the wrong word will shatter me like glass.

    But I had a really good date last night and we’re meeting again this weekend. So I’m also optimistic for the first time in a while.

    How are you?

    It’s that core depression. Like deep down below all the fake smiling. Like I’m traveling abroad for work and having a great time but I’m so motherfucking lonely and not feeling seen, heard, felt or loved at all. It’s all high fives and handshakes oh boy.

    I want it to go away. If it’s death that does it, I’m fine with that.

  32. Melodic-Bird-7254 Avatar

    To anyone reading this as someone who also suffers (M34), the following things helped a lot!!

    1. Stop watching porn and masturbating (2-3 times a week is fine)

    2. KETO diet for 1-2 months. A lot of people’s mood is a direct result of the diet they eat. Modern processed carbohydrates are not needed by the human body. It makes a huge difference to mental clarity, mood and desire if you ditch the carbs. True keto is great but no more than 10% carbs a day if you can’t commit to true keto.

    3. Join the gym and train. The best thing for the body is the serotonin/endorphins the body releases during a workout. Nothing beats it.

    4. Talk to people! There are people who care.

    5. Do your old hobbies or things you want to try. Try and do things that get you out the house.

    6. Sleep! Get at least 7-8 hours a night.

    Trust me. I was in the pits. None of the above is beyond any of you.

    Like i wonder why i’m bothering to stick around because it sure seems like the world doesn’t want me here

  37. Search_destroy Avatar

    Not so good at the present moment. Feel like a big ol’ void of nothing. Everyday is the same thing. I’m lonely. I want to cry but I’m at work until 7 so holding back until then.

    That aside, I hope you are well. Hopefully nothing is weighing you down.

  38. Specialist-Bath5474 Avatar

    Like theres no purpose. I have major anxiety, and sometimes I just have to remember the good memories, knowing fully well that I will never be able to relive them. I feel like time goes too fast, like I just cant enjoy the things I enjoy. I constantly feel like im on a timer. Holidays are always the most depressing. They will end. Its the truth.

  39. Moma_139 Avatar

    Broken kinda, I keep getting bad news after bad. I’m just trying to stay hopeful and not feel bad for myself.

    It’s been a struggle. Got a whole bunch of diagnosises in the intervening years.

  54. rockyzentiger20 Avatar

    Stuck and longing.

    The only thing I look forward to is the other life, even though I know deep down that there wouldn’t be another one. There are many things I wish would and wouldn’t be in the next life. Things I’m scared of to changed in this current one.

    I hate myself for not trying and feeling powerless. I don’t live to enjoy, I do it to survive. That’s it. Nothing more and nothing less.

    I just wish everyone here a really good life and to take care. That maybe it will be okay and that you should not lose any hope like I have.

    All my thoughts go out to all of you.

  55. Awkward_Intention_15 Avatar

    Some days good. Some days neutral. some days bad. But it’s all due to the same stress, and it’s been difficult getting it resolved sadly.

  56. AmmanasHyjal Avatar

    Surprisingly a lot better than I normally do: I got back from a very sunny vacation with the partner two weeks ago and that has helped a ton. I still lack a lot of focus and am not deriving the same fun I used in a lot of things but I am not spending days in bed unable to do anything because of unwavering dread and melancholy.

    I’m cycling between tired and numb and overwhelmed and anxious. I feel like a burden to my friends and family even though I know that’s not true. But masking to be around them lately has been truly exhausting.

    This is it, I want to sleep, it’s 12 midnight, but I can’t go to bed. I continue trying to find a way out of my situation and not end up in an even bigger hole. Although I want to fall asleep and not wake up, so that this would finally end

  62. kwturner69 Avatar

    I feel like I’m going nowhere. There are things that need my attention, but I can’t motivate myself to do them. I feel drained. I’m spinning my wheels day after day and nothing happens. Yet I always feel exhausted. Work is not a hard job, thankfully. But I feel like I’m self sabotaging again. Like I’m trying to get fired so something happens. I’ll beat myself up for feeling this way right after I post it.

  63. Lyeta1_1 Avatar

    The American public thinks I’m a drain on their taxes and is whole sale firing my co workers and then yelling at us for not being able to do what they want and maybe I’ll be next so you know, just spontaneously crying every so often.

    Depressed and Love sick. In addition to my normal depression, I fell in love with someone I didn’t expect to. They already have someone. Part of me wants to move on now we’ve crossed that line. I’m afraid to lose the only true friend I have, part of me wants him to leave her for me, and the worst part of me doesn’t care about her and wants to have a relationship despite her.

  70. ImNotAPoetImALiar Avatar

    Like I am unnecessary and will never be satisfied. I will never find love again, even though I see it walking down the street everyday. I will never find fulfillment, even though I see people get excited about life everyday. I am a shell, moping around until my time is up.

  72. archelz15 Avatar

    I’m not diagnosed with clinical depression so don’t want to take anything away from people who do but honestly I just feel numb right now. “I’ll never be good enough for anything, so why bother?” is constantly on my mind. I’m not even good enough to end things for myself, I’m too big a coward.

    Worse than ever, which is funny since i’m on holiday. Guess staying alone is far worse than going to work, even if work is painful in other ways.

    Cycling between being sad and angry. Tired and restless. Bored and empty. All while being the most productive at work, doing all the house work and pet caregiving despite having a partner. At least I can cry at my desk as I wfh. Hyper-independence and isolation ftw.

    I need to get groceries and be home by 330. It’s 230. I’ve been in bed all morning despite knowing there’s things I could/should be doing. It’s such a nice day out too. And yesterday I said I wouldn’t waste the day.
    Also I don’t want to go to work ever and have been in a bad mood since February.

  95. CrimsonDinh91 Avatar

    A general sense of anxiety. I’m applying to jobs without technically having the credential for a school counselor yet but I know I can do the job. Just give me the shot to prove it. If I don’t get the call or my app is rejected, all the feelings of “not being good enough” flood into my head and it’s difficult to get out.

  96. Submissive421 Avatar

    Makes me feel like nothing matters anymore. Why go to work? Why do I exist? I go down a deep mental hole and I end up crying. So drinking or weed/edibles help me not think too deeply about my life and how it can be be better and actually matter if I did things differently. Found out that off’ing myself would make people in my life upset and cause them problems so I’m just stuck.

    Last month was the worst month of my life. I neglected myself so much. No food, no shower, no life. Just lying on the bed without any expression. In addition to depression, I was an extremely private person, so I suffered alone.

    I mostly just try to focus on things that do bring me joy and push out the thoughts of the things that bum me out.

    If I can keep my mind occupied on something then I am usually good to go. It’s those moments with nothing going on where my mind starts to dwell on the things that cause the depression in the first place.

    I feel no specific emotion. I can’t remember experiencing true happiness in a long while. Years perhaps!

    Like I’m drowning. Tears immediately sting my eyes as soon as I’m not distracting myself from thinking about where I’m at in life. Feeling insanely overwhelmed with all the things I need to do to improve myself and my life all alone again. Lost and hopeless.
    I don’t know how to be a solid human that can contribute to good friendships anymore.
    I don’t want to be alone but I fear I’m never going to find someone who truly loves me and will stay.
